Oak244,
After your setup is done, erase ANY hifi/home theater bookmarks as fast as you can, and cancel your AV magazine subscriptions. This hobby can get positively sick, and you can be blowing obscene amounts of money on separate CD transports and DACs, power cords, line conditioners, speaker terminations, isolation cones, and of course, wires and interconnects costing more than a budget car.
Almost all of the "huge improvements" in sound are non-sensical. If a difference can be heard at all (it usually can't), there's certainly no way to demonstrate superiority. Save your bucks for software, and enjoy your setup.
