DBK, I was at a headphone show last weekend and Benchmark showed a usb version of their D/A that was attached to a Mac directly and playing songs from its hard drive. You might give Benchmark a call. 
Looks like I need another stage...suggestions?
Get the Bellari phono. Then get a RAM super low noise 12AX7 tube to replace the electro-harmonic tube that comes with the unit. This will make a dramatic improvment in the sound of the phono unit.

Best 6550's for ARC VT-100 MK3 amp- SED; Tungsol??
Hi,I assume that your bias is correctly set at 65ma. I also assume that you have removed the oxides from the 6550 pins by using flitz cleaner. If so, the 6550/KT88 from EAD are the way to go. See HiFi+ for details.

Am I spending too much money?
Here is my 2 cents. Buy yourself a Krell 400 IL or 300IL intergrated. It is a better sounding unit and you can buy one used for about $1700 or $1800.
