You have your tunes in iTunes already, so just stream them to your system and use your existing DAC. Not as good as a top LP setup, or a good transport I suspect, but quite nice if you have a nice DAC (tubed or not!). And it's dirt cheap to turn your computer into a music server. Add an Airport for each room. It's put a lot of fun back in audio for me.
