Thanks Maczurak, but I can't see the top weight application taking advantage of the superb absorption characteristics of panzerholz—just it's weight. I think other heavy materials would work just as well for top weights.

To Dac or not to Dac
If you're just looking for improvement on your CD player, I'd say it's not worth it. I don't think you can get any significant improvement putting a $500 DAC on your approximately $350 NAD CD player. For me, to use a DAC on my Cambridge Audio 650C...
