System edited: There will be alot of change over the coming months. Will be trying some bi-amping, so will drop the Analysis Plus for a couple runs of Furutech bi-amping speaker cable. I am also looking for a non spinning disk streaming audio solution, so the Naim NS01 is also on the block.

I had a thought. What if I got a ML 39. As it has the processor built in, I could leave the 5-DIN to RCA connections to AV2 for the Arcam DVD player and utilize the XLR connections from the ML to XLR connections on the Pass Amp. This way, I bypass the Naim unit entirely and use the theoretically (prodding here) better ML for two channel. I know Wadia can also do this, what other CD players have this processor functionality and have XLR connections?

Thoughts?
