I'm a big fan of getting the digital source right, more than most on this forum, but even I would suggest that you wouldn't get great value from spending on your front end in such a system.
I guess that if you see the next couple of years being spent gradually upgrading your hifi, then it could make sense, but to be honest that's not a particularly rewarding process. Spend half the money on music, save the rest, and splurge out on a big upgrade in three years. Spending smaller amounts on a fairly well-balanced system is often more a distraction than an improvement, IMO.
