For what it's worth I don't think you can do much better at the price point. Despite the cost of bringing my 1070 up to Canada it is still the best deal I could find. The Arcam 250 I was considering is about $500 more and they spec out and review about the same (equally good).

After I moved over from my old Sony I noticed, not so much that my Arcam CD player sounded better but my Pioneer DVD player now sounds WAY better. My SACD and DVD-Audio material is now worth listening to again. Lately I've also started re-visiting vinyl records and I'm afraid all the audiophile talk about vinyl being better may actually be true. The old Technics SL1950 I picked up for $99 sounds just as good as my $1000 Arcam CD player. Even without a proper phono pre-amp.
Go for it!
