New DAC or New CD Player
I once owned a micromega stage4 and did use it as a transport. I think if you want to keep the micro then get a GOOD dac. I do like the idea of the micro shuting down the outputs when using the coax out. Plan to spend more on your dac purchase to ...

Power cords at ridiculous prices?
