I am now using A Bryston 10B-Sub active crossover. I took all the 2 channel gear off of the Belkin PureAv Pf60 and connected them to a Furutech E-T80 line conditioner. I then replaced the power cord going to the furutech with the might Omega Mico Active Planar cord (used)and finally, the noise floor is gone. Now the hot weather hasd passed and the AC seems better so SQ is improved.

I am still waiting for my buddy to finish building the Audio Note Kit tube preamp with USB input (Hagerman). I will use my laptop and play a huge library of music in lossles format going to the DAC.

My mindest has not been good lately so I use my PC via the M-Audio SPDIF going to the Outlaw 1070 and a jitter reducer. The SQ is surprisingly decent and that is what I am using till the DAC is ready.
