building the best system I can?

I want to thank everyone for their insight and suggestions. Now I want to side step the amp/pre talk for a moment and address the music source. I am interested in going with a digital source such as a server/dac combo. Any thaughts? I see that the squeezebox touch is a popular choice but I am under the impression that logitech has dropped the touch. Knowing this makes me a bit nervous about purchasing this product. I am also looking at sonos as a server. Also does anyone have thaughts on the Olive products? Just because I am side stepping the amp/pre talk doesn't mean I don't want more input because I find this discussion very interesting.

You might get more (not necessarily better, though) responses re your digital source question by starting another thread in the "Digital" forum.

4musica44107 Thanks for the suggestion I will send my question over to the digital forum. Now lets get back to amp/pre talk. I am seriously thinking of going with a mccormack dna 0.5 or .1 amp, so does anyone have any ideas on a good preamp match? Would ss or tube be best suited with the studio 20's?

I think you would be better offer considering how a given pre would match with the amp, before the speakers.

Does anyone want to give some suggestions on a a preamp for the mccormack dna amps?
