preamp upgrade- lavry da10 vs modding my p3 vs p8


I have been thinking of a preamp upgrade because the parasound p3 that i have is the weak link in my system right now.

the three options I have been considering are:

1)getting my parasound preamp fully modded for $799
2)buying the lavry da10 and using it as a preamp/dac with my arcam cd73
3)buying a nuforce p8 with the 30% off discount

I plan on listening to the p8 and da10 in my system soon. Which option do you think would give me the most improvement?

I ended up going with the p8. sounded pretty lifeless in my system like the lavry did in yours. Since then I have pretty much replaced my whole setup with new gear. Sounds much better now.

What do you have now?

I got some balanced-to-unbalanced connectors and I'm loving the Lavry through my preamp... A thousand times better than skipping the pre.

Im in between setups right now. I have the juicy music peach pre which is a keeper. Im trying to decide on some new speakers and Ive got some van alstine fetvalve gear on the way (amp and dac).
