You can buy it direct from their website - unless you want to try to find one preowned. I'm not good with hyperlinks,but, schiit.com will get you there.I have a multibit dac from them and like it. Regardsgary 
Here is your Groovey-Lookin' Tube Amp
I've used mine with Silverline Minuets and Infinite Slope stand mounts. There are several designs on the market combining a tube in preamp to a non tube amplifier section.

I have one, sounds fine to me. No problems with the unit. I was told swapping the tubes improves the sound quality, but haven't bothered. Didn't feel the unit was being promoted as a 25wpc full vacuum tube integrated for $125, so I knew what I was... 
How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades?
I have a stock 1200 mk2 and love it. In my humble opinion, buy a reasonable cartridge and let it rip. Mine is carefree, reliable, and trustworthy. No fiddling and or second guessing required. I don't enjoy calibrating equipment- I just want to pla... 
They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?

Good for you, I bet you will really enjoy the Nad. I have a Schiit Modi Multibit ($250) and use it with my CD player and BT receiver. Of course there are several other manufacturers of quality dacs.Regards,gary

Fwiw,If you can find a local audio nut, they could help a lot. Many audio folks are friendly and helpful, after all it's their hobby and interest.You may consider looking on your local Craigslist under electronics and scan for audio gear ads that ... 
You were right about adding a sub.
