Has anyone heard the Kora hermes connected to a ..

Cary 303/100 cdp or even a Sony 7700 dvd? I'm currently using: Cary 303/100 cdp -> Coincident cst .5 ic.-> Rogue 66 lsr(soon to be upgraded to Magnum) -> Coincident cst .5 ic. -> Odyssey Stratos w/ cap upgrade -> AP Oval 9 biwired -> Magnepan 1.6qr. On the video side I'm using: Sony 7700 dvd -> Cardas 300b ic. -> Cal Sigma II w/ 24/96 chip -> D.H. Labs 1m ic. -> Rogue 66. I like the fact that the Kore hermes has two inputs and assume I could use the Cary 303 xlr output into the hermes and the Sony 7700 rca output into the hermes. Am I correct and what sound could I expect? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and comments!

What change in sound could I expect from both the Cary and the Sony/Cal Sigma combo's? Could I use the 3rd input for a hi-fi vcr or would that be a bad idea? Thanks!

Boy, do I feel stupid. I obviously didn't think about the vcr question. Would the Kora add more of a palable 3d sound with the Cary and Sony?

Should I consider selling my Cary 303 and using a less expensive transport with the Kora? Just wondering if I'd benefit more that way and at the same time having the "funds" for the Kora. How could I benefit more from the Cary 303, when used with the Kora dac? I realize there would possibly be more tube warmth, but what else?
