I was thinking of changing my current front end set up of 598/568.2mm. as I'm only into 2ch not HT. I thought firstly to change 568 for a different DAC/PRE e.g DCS Delius

But now thinking of going and changing both 598/568 for a 800 configuered as a DAC and a 2ch anologue out( believe that a variable out is comeing shortly).Though not sure I can streatch to that type of cost.

Do you think that the 2ch CD playback improvement would be worth while.

Have any of you use the 800 as a stand alone CDP(ie transport/DAC and PRE) straight into a power amp.
