Can't comment on either of your choices but there is a like new Peachtree Audio "MusicBox"currently for sale here on Audiogon(NOT mine)priced just under your budget.I have one driving a pair of Sonus Faber Toy Monitors with an Asus laptop as source & it sounds AMAZING!
The "MusicBox" has Multiple Digital Inputs,Direct Digital iPod Dock,a 12AX7 Dual Triode Tube that not only drives the PreAmp section(with PreAmp outputs to feed your NAD)but also drives a wonderful sounding HEADPHONE Amp AND even includes a kick ass little 20wpc.Mosfet Amplifier!
ABSOLUTELY THE BARGAIN OF THE CENTURY!!!
