My advice is stay put and do not invest $$$ in the digital format for the time being. Use the available fund to buy a decent turntable/arm/cartridge and start exploring the world of analog LP playback.

Digital direction
I have a Music Hall CD25 CDP and am thinking about upgrading. A couple different paths to choose from:
-Have it modded by Part Connexion for $350
-External DAC under $1000 (Perpetual,Bel Canto, MF etc)
-Move up a notch to a better one box, Arcam CD23, etc.
I love the HDCD playback and want to keep. I also want to keep expense around $1,000 or under. My initial thought was to get the player modded, and then down the road when the SACD/DVD issues settles (and there are more releases), get a middle of the road SACD/DVD player and keep both players. Thus, I have decent CD/HDCD playback and will also have SACD/DVD playback. Will a DAC on my player make much difference?
Any comments or other thoughts?
