However, you may want to look for a pimeta and alien dac in the fs forums. You could probably snag both for a little over $250.

True, all of it. I stand by the idea that the Cantate is a good value in comparison to other products in its price range, but almost identical quality can be had for about $200 less with a PIMETA and an Alien DAC. Since he's a new user, I thought he might enjoy the luxury of ordering a new product custom delivered to your door with a warranty and a contact number. If that's not worth $200 to you, epcortek, rds' suggestion is a good one.
