I'm taking a different path. I'm currently running the analog outs from the MC200 to a Schiit headphone amp. SPDIF runs to my Anthem preamp. Instead of trying to improve the MC200, I've decided to throw my money at a MS600 and let the MC200 just push bits over the network. I'll know in a week or so if I made the right decision.
