SET amps ?
11-21-13: Clio09When a "?" is used to me that is an interrogative. So IMO the OP is asking a question as to whether or not this is the time to try a SET amp. My answer is simply "maybe," but don't rule out a push-pull.+1 
Equitech with digital only?
It's a balanced Power System. Google equitech and balanced power.Like all power conditioners, it lowers the noise floor. You hear a blacker and quieter background. With noise, you don't realize the amount until it's removed. 
New KT150 tubes?

Equitech with digital only?
I had a EquiTech 2Q and it's the best active conditioner I had in my system. The digital, analog switched and unswitched outlets all sound different. I use digital for DAC and unswitched analog for my amps and pre. If I ever go back to active, pro...

Handymann, I was in your position after selling my last Krell FPB600 years ago. I've had 3 Krell amps and Krell was the only stable component in my system. They worked great with everything including 100db horns. Krell cd players are also excellen... 
Ways to improve DAC performance???
In a show environment, I see the advantages using USB. But in a home environment, I prefer the simplier approach, DLNA via ethernet with an audiophile grade ethernet cable. Last thing I want is a dedicated computer in my rack, noise, extra hardwar...
