    In terms of audio only, I have to go with the current leader, digital source. Since I listen mostly to music from computer, it's essential that I have a DAC. Amongst available new equipment, Id consider:
    • Benchmark DAC1 USB
    • PS Audio Digital Link III
    • Monarchy NM24
    • Cambridge 740C or 840C
    Since I consider my M-Audio Audiophile USB external sound card is adequate using the M-Audio ASIO driver, USB input to the DAC isn't absolutely essential.


    Any specific one in mind? I went to look at the Panny TH-42PZ85U yesterday. Awesome looking picture. Tweeter had it on sale for something like $1547.

    It'll probably be November before I buy. I'll see what's available nearer that time. Right now the price is $1500+ for a 1080p plazma as you note.
