I used to own a Miles and I liked it a lot. I would also recommend upgrading your power and cables. For interconnects and speaker cables, I recommend trying Harmonic Technology, which I have had good luck with. The last thing I would do is buy a preamp. I also run my CDP directly to my amp and have found that choosing your amp in this configuration is critical. If you get to the point where you are going to buy a preamp, just think of the amp you could upgrade to with that money!
