Best Rock Album in 2012
Either KISS - Monster or Dokken - Broken Bones

Sorry for any confusion. The question really focuses on the Integrated Amp, 2 Channel receiver, or pre-amp/power-amp setup. Budget for that piece is $1500. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the response. I am on hold until I see a review of the Schitt Bitfrost. To connect other than USB, what sound cards are you using in your computers? I am in the process of buying another and looked at Asus Xonar essence? 
Decent DAC under $10k anyone?
Out of my range of dollars but from reading many articles etc. it seems like the Weiss DAC202 is one of the best out there and what unit many folks compare to.

That Schitt Bitfrost looks like a solid candidate. A few preowned DACs also may fit the bill.

Thanks for the quick responses. I am hoping to be able to purchase a DAC with the ability to convert to 192-kHz 24-bit digital-to-analog. The Music Fidelity VDAC maybe an option for me. Thanks again! 
Best integrated for $500?
Have a listen to the Yamaha A-S500? WhatHiFi had only good things to say. Buy.com has a great price on it. I would also check out the Rega Brio 3.

Watching some Advents on the big auction site. Also, read many things about DCM Time Windows and Dynaco A-25. With no ability to listen before buying will have to roll the dice and give them a shot. Again, "Thank you" for suggestions.
