It would probably be overkill but for the amp the previous generation of PS Audio PCs are available from Hong Kong for under $200 new, The Statement and Primer SC are both very good, I have 2 of each. I have bought some here and some overseas and they appear to be the same, not surprising as they are manufactured in China. Too stiff for the CDP unless it is quite heavy or you use a weight on it. They have removable ground pins which sometimes gives better sound.
