Upgrade or Mod?

I'm currently using a Sony CE775 for SACD. Redbook CD's are being decoded using a Link DAC I w/ Audio Alchemy PS3 power supply.

The rest of the current system:
Stan Warren modified Adcom 5400 amp
Quicksilver tubed linestage
Magnepan MG12's
Kimber PBJ interconnects and 8tc speaker cables

While I like the detail/transparency, I sometimes wish I had a smoother, more laid-back sound (especially in the high frequency range).

Need comments/suggestions on whether I should modify the Link DAC or sell the entire set-up and buy a Rega Planet. The cost will be about the same either way.

I have heard the PBJ's and I think that if you upgraded to the Kimber Hero's or Van Den Hul for instance for interconnects, esp. cdp, you would smooth out your system quite a bit. Also try Van Den Hul speaker cable for a smoother sound. The PBJ stuff can tend to be a little bright and forward. It's also not shielded very well so it can catch interference easy.

Good luck.
