PS audio or Moon


Ive been on a search to upgrade my HT system for better music listening. Im looking at the Moon 390(if i can find one used), PS Audio Stellar Strata, or a PS Gain Cell Dac + a Bluesound Node x or Vault 2i.  Any one have opinions on these options?

Interesting 

Thanks guys.  It does seem that moon is better for streaming.  PS admittedly doesnt have the best streaming interface.  Id  be ok with that if the dac and pre are superior. Biggest obstacle w the moon for me is price. 

Thanks peeps for the input.  Im kinda suprised that no love has been shown for the PS stuff.  I guess thats why we ask for advice.  Now trick is to convince the boss that "we" need the moon 390.  In my mind though it makes sense as itll bring the most out of my paradigms and anthem amp and may be the piece thats the anchor of my system moving forward  

And you Mr Soix....please dont tell me how stupid i am again.  I value your input. Please remember im new. 

My system started RECENTLY as a marantz cinema 60 and in wall B&W Left and Right,  B&W center and rear ceiling surrounds. Ive always been a critical listener so i quickly realized that my new system wasnt so good for music. Was ok,  not good. Wife agreed so i bought paradigm 100f towers and a anthem mca 325gen 2 amp.  Made a big difference...now i got the bug and want  better. And, heeding your advice, i set out on a mission to get my crap ass marantz cinema 60 out of my 2 channel path and at the same time leave room for growth.  So here i am again looking for input.  Thanks for any input. 

Thanks Jb. You live in Gods country. So beautiful. Was out therefor the first time a few months ago. Went to the Rocky Mountain National Park...friggin awesome. Kinda puts crap  into perspective. I wanted to get to PS but didnt. Great company. Kinda just want to own something from them but i realize that may not be whats best for me so im leaning towards moon.

 

I may be cdpike.  Can it be used as a pre amp too? 

I have a nice anthem mca325 gen 2 for my fronts
