I took the plunge - PS Audio Stellar DAC and S300
So I've had these units for just about two years now and here are my more seasoned observations:The DAC is wonderful. It is such a great hub for modern listening. you can make it work with so many different types of setups. It's great. The S300 is... 
Older 802s or newer 804s

Rega Elecit-R vs Naim Nait XS 2
Hello! Yes please I have not pulled the trigger on an integrated yet and I am about to. I have recently changed my mind about the integrated phono input and decided that having a line level input in for TV purposes trumps an integrated phono stage... 
Integrated Amps - my first good HiFi purchase.
Thanks Matt! I had not considered a tube amp, as they always sort of scared me for hifi (vintage guitar amps keep my repair bills constant) but I will try to find one to audition.
