Cheers Deaf Cat - happy to help if I can. Obviously I'm biased and you should try it out for yourself. However, the 5103 can be daunting to setup (which you only do once) - if you need help just mail me.
The SB+5103 analogue connection does respond to good cables (I used Linn Silver, then moved to Chord Signature. The coax connection also seems to benefit from a good 75ohm cable (I used the Kimber Silver one...KCAG something...). Any old toslink cable will do ;) If you can get a used unit, you can send the serial number to Linn and they can tell you exactly what spec the unit is, upgrades etc... There is a myth that Linn gear only works with other Linn gear. Whilst true of some older equipment (esp. Linn speakers), the 5103 works with pretty much any ancilliary gear.
