It's kind of a balancing act. It's all about getting the stuff that sounds great in your system and has very good resale value. With digital I found that this theory goes out the window because of the super high pace of digital tech. So when you buy digital, you're pretty much burning 50% of what it's worth right away... In 4 months from now there'll be something twice as powerful etc...
So it depends where on the curve you want to be. Like some other members here, I've found that being on the late part of the curve for digital helps to keep money for other stuff like NOS tubes, cables and amps, which don't lose that much value. I'm actually thinking about getting a DAC for my EAD... Maybe I should wait until that Chord DAC settles in a bit :) We'll see. Good luck with the sale.
