How is Rotel RCD-1520 CD player? Anyone owns one?
The slot loader is a step backwards IMO. 
Cambridge 840C DACs vs. Wyred vs. Eastern Electric
I have not heard them but I think the bigger question is which one has the best output stage? 
Spending on dac vs amp
Other than technological advancements, DACs seem to be a flavor of the month type thing. I've read many reviews, including one of the Eastern Electric Minimax in which the reviewer says it's the best thing under $1500 and better than the Wyred4Sou... 
Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable
Would the Silver Byte be better suited to a warmer, laid back system than the MC2? 
SS integrated amp that has tube like qualities

Eastern Electric's new tube DAC using ESS Sabre??

Energy RC-70????
The Energy Reference Connoisseur line offers a completely different presentation of that to B&W's CM series. As you'd come to expect from Energy, the RC-70s are smooth but also extremely rich and detailed. The high frequencies are some of the ...
