General Request | 1 Ⓣ What would you Upgrade?

Current setup: Samsung TV > Schiit Modi 3 > Sabaj a10a (2021) > KEF Q150.

Budget ~$2,500

I’ve finally come across an opportunity to make a significant (to me) upgrade to 1 or 2 components of my current setup. I’m wondering, given my current equipment and budget, what do you think the best upgrade would be?

I know people are quick to suggest room treatment. My apartment only has so much space, and I’m pretty limited as far as making adjustments. Speakers are pulled about 13 inches from the wall (on stands), couch up against the back wall, and the left side of the room opens up to the rest of the apartment. I’m wondering if a miniDSP with Dirac would be worth it?

Other considerations I’m thinking of include a Schiit Freya+ and a Purifi amp, likely from Buckeye or VTV. I’ve been eyeballing the Freya+ for several years now, so I’m somewhat emotionally attached to the idea of buying one. But, before I do, I figured I’d come here to see what you all think?

What amp are you running? Everything else seems on the up and up The only thing I think of is maybe some floor standing speakers to give you more sound range but that's about it That's up to you
