Thanks for your recommendations. I'll check out the cost of the Mapletree line router. If too much, I'll look at the Sima. I'm currently using the DAC-Ah while my Cary cdp is in the shop. I especially like it because I can toggle between my PC and cdp. Once the Cary's back I don't think I'll be using the external DAC. Of course, I'll compare the Cary's internal with the external. My system's really in flux at this time as I move gear in and out.
