A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice
Emorrisiv, the Aesthetix Janus combines the Calypso and the Rhea into one complete pre-amp. Usually runs ~$3500 used. 
Does such a product exist ??

A wireless router and a Squeezebox Touch is the perfect solution. The wireless router plugs into your computer and the Touch plugs into your DAC. 
Why are modern arms so ugly?
I don't look, I listen.
