Cary 308 or Njoe Tjoeb 4000?


I was hoping some of the folks here could help me with an
upcoming decision. I'm looking for an upgrade to my NAD
T-550 CD/DVD. Overall I'm happy with the NAD but I'm
not sure its good enough to qualify as a system anchor.
My current system (and hopefully future!) system is below.

CJ Sonographe SA 400
CJ PV 10A ----- upgrade to CJ Premier 17LS
Vienna Acoustics Bach's -------- VA Beethovens
NAD T-550 ------?
Tara Labs cables and interconnects

With this purchase I would like to get more detail,
depth and resolution out of my system. That being
said I have worked my decision down to these two canidates.

Cary 308 ($1500)
Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with the 24/192 Upsampler kit. (~$1000)

Having read users comments on both these systems has not
made this decision any easier. Both seem to be highly regarded. I have yet to listen to either of these but I would greatly appreciate some opinions and insight before I do.

Last question. In your opinion are either of these two a significant upgrade to the NAD? Will the difference between either of these and the NAD be immediatley noticeable?

Thanks

the sonographe/cj combo is fine...in fact a rather classic combo....i'd change front ends....you'll only make the viennas hungry for more bass by going with the amps mentioned.
