>So a 562 is out...

You said you have an analog source.

If you put a 562 in the chain you can connect all of your digital and analog (which will be converted to digital in the 562) sources to it, feed its output to the 518 to 203 to Power amp and you will have a killer 2 ch system.

going this route... you should consider trying out better DACs, the 203 is a fine DAC but it is pretty dated compaired to the newer ones..
