That is exactly what I am going to do. The 9000 is built like a tank and is a very stable transport that should last you for years. I had the opportunity to home audition a freinds Musical Fidelity in conjunction with the 9000. Very nice. However, I plan on researching other DACS as I believe that even used the Musical Fidelity is quite pricey. The cost of digital technology goes down to quickly. It just may well be that the MF will be obsolete next year. Just a thought.
