Yes, I bought a Rotel RCD-1072, that will live in my HT (Yamaha VX-R2400) until I make up my mind and the final music system goes in downstairs, then it will become the primary source in the music room. I'll use my DVD as a transport into the Yamaha's DAC's in the Home Theater when I want to listen to music up there, which will be good enough for occational listening. This, 'trial horse' system will be to test the final configuration and idea's for the room arrangements with an OK music system of similar physical configuration.
