Sorry...
"Can't say why" in my last post should have been "Don't know why."
A great resource for system setup and squeezing every last bit of performance out of it is Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound" book. It's far cheaper than any component you're contemplating buying, and I'm pretty sure you'll easily get an improvement that's far more than worth the cost of the book.
If you really, really need to buy something new, I agree with the previous poster - new source.
