Am I nuts or what? Apple TV

By sheer luck, I have been given the opportunity to acquire an unbelievable system on a barter deal. I am getting Martin Logan Summit speakers, Jeff Rowland Model 312 amp, BAT Rex preamp, Shunyata Hydra 8 power conditioner, and an assortment of Nordost Valhalla interconnects and power cords. Since I am totally new to the audiophile scene, I'm not sure I understand just how good this system may be. I assume that all the components would be termed "Class A" under a Stereophile type rating.

I need to buy a transport system. I have purchased an Apple TV and am considering the Eastern Electric Tube DAC. Am I just stupid to try and use those components with the above described system?

Thanks for your input.

Sounds like you got a great deal. Since you're new and you listed certain items, I would suggest that you go down to your local university and talk to anyone at the EE department about whether the various wires you obtained can do anything special (I know what they'll say, and I agree with them).

The DAC matters. The Apple TV is OK, use the digital output and feed the DAC with it. I don't know the DAC you are looking at but it sounds like a good one. Welcome to our hobby!
