Possible upgrades/upgrade path:
• FlatCap2 or HiCap power supply or for real crazies Super-Cap2
• install a chassis mounted DIN connector instead of a provided captive lead for a possible cable rolling

• Naim Headline2 vs. Gilmore V2 with Grado RS1
It's worth pointing out than Naim now have a cheaper PSU for the headline, the "iSupply".
US price is $165, nearly $300 cheaper than the previous cheapest option, the PSC2.
BTW, with a different adapter, the iSupply can power an iPod for improved performance. Only one item at a time, though.
