my chain of cd signal: kps20i-vahalla-arc sp11mk2-discovery plus 4- arc classic 150-vahalla-spendor sp100. most of my gear are used except for the six meters of discovery plus 4 due to 2 pairs of rca-in at the back of sp11. i listened to the reimyo cdp 777 play carol kidd at an audiophile show and was very impressed but expensive for me. i am not a reviewer but i know the reimyo system i listened to had more emotion/detail in the singer's voice. i am thinking maybe a reimyo dac to add that extra touch.
Ckoffend: thank you for all the dac suggestions. i will be on the look out for either a tube or reimyo dac. i know it is hard to compare the sound from two different systems but in this hobby you are always looking for your weakest link to improve and since kps 20i has been around for a while and digital playback is like computer that keeps on changing i suspect it can be improved on.

Lula: good guess!!! i have shunyata king cobra for my kps20i. so you think cadas golden cross will do the trick. are the golden cross warmer than the golden reference? thanks
