Johnny, are you suggesting to try Saturn Eclipse over Jupiter Eclipse?  
Aesthetix Calypso Signature to Eclipse
I see myself living with a Signature version as well.  I think with Signature upgrade you get the most bang for your buck.  IMO, the Eclipse upgrade particularly in an esoteric context, it's a fifth element. The benefits in this category are only ...

Aesthetix Calypso Signature to Eclipse
"a used Aesthetix Callisto Sig would be much better than a Calypso Eclipse"This is a very interesting statement. I was considering Calypso Signature or Eclipse which are as it is rare to come by on used market. I don't think I have seen a used Cal... 
Dazed and Confused - Upgrading System But Too Many Options!
Unless you pick a integrated preamp with built in DAC, you will need a outboard DAC with N100.  Aurender makes awesome music players.  You should check out A10 with a built in DAC and streaming capabilities.  However an external DAC will allow tot...
