If I had $800 to spend, were sitting on the gear in your Living Room system, and had "upgrade-itis," I'd put the money into a very good new, or superb used, DAC. That would allow me to continue using the Adcom as a transport (while improving its sonics) and to start going in a computer audio direction.
That is, unless I had a to-die-for record collection, in which case the thought to add a tube phono preamp might be the way to go.
I say all of this because (i) I don't necessarily see your pre-amp as the weak link in your system; and (ii) I think that an $800 tube pre-amp with phono is going to result in more upgrade-itis.
