Interesting replies. Are your priorities music (stereo) or movies?
If movies, I'd back Carl's suggestion of an 861v6. You can upgrade it to v8 later as funds allow, but a v6 is already amazing.
If music, I'd back the suggestion to try to run the 818v2 into a phantom input. The 818 is simply a sublime thing, the most musical digital source I've ever heard.
Finally, for a simple life go for the v6. Fewer boxes.
