Perfect timing for this thread. I, too, am in the exact dilema with my RCD1072. Something else to keep in mind is, in my opinion, upgrading to a better and more expensive DAC yeilds a small change. I've tried the V-DAC and the PS audio DLIII and didn't hear much of a change. So paying 700.00 on a PS audio DAC to me isn't a upgrade but rather its like waxing a freshly washed car. I say save your money and find a deal on a audio research or something like that
