I use the Pioneer DV525 with a 2 meter XLO Toslink. I like this combo. Another advantage is you can always watch movies if you don't find it to your satisfaction. BTW, the Pioneer DV333 is the close replacement of the 525. I believe you can find it for $200 or less from Cosco, so about the same as your digital ic. There is a guy in Auburn, AL who makes a supposedly killer toslink for cheap, according to Stan Warren at Supermods. I can't find the guy but maybe someone reading this might know. You should check past threads as I have left links to website reviews that discuss various setups with the DAC1. Good luck! Charlie
