Good thought...but what I decided to do is keep the Creek as a transport and feed it to an external DAC. As a side comment, I've switched exclusively to headphone listening and am using a HeadRoom "Maxed-out" Desktop with DAC and AKG 701 phones. I suppose you have to get used to headphones, but for me, it's altogether better sound - dynamics, resolution, everything (except I guess soundstage) -- than I got from speaker-based systems. For this reason, I don't miss the Ayre equipment at all. But I think I can do better, and am now contemplating going the balanced route with headphones, which is said to give more a expansive soundstage closer to that of speakers with the benefits of phones. Different strokes...or "whatever floats your boat."
