Hey, Thanks for asking :-D
Yeah, I've been in touch with the guys some more, but I'm moving slowly
right now, I don't think I'll buy another pair of speakers right now. I
already own two very well performing sets that I just can't

Still, it sounds great and from the great number of auditions I've been

Presently using SB3/DAC1/Arcam/Dynaudio speakers. Dynaudios are very
natural sounding. Listen to some Dyn's, the bigger the better, you
might be surprised. Have fun.

I believe that the most dramatic upgrade you can make are the speakers,
and no matter what equipment you have or dac you connect, they will
always be limited (or not) by the reproduction capacity of your
speakers which are the immediate and most important link between your
electronics and you.
I have listened to the 802D some times and honestly I have not been that
impressed by them, but that's strongly my subjective opinion.
You can get Vandersteen Quattro, Thiel CS 3.7 or Dynaudio Confidence C2

Trust your own ears and get what sounds good to you. Your BW dealers
should have a program that would let you audition the speakers in your
home with your equipment. I'd advise that you do this as your next
step in order to make sure your current equipment and room will sound

Definitely don't trust the reviews.
I like the BWs. Can't go wrong w/those.

Aerial 9s, which I love and highly recommend.
Check Audiogon for great prices.

an off the wall solution [and not one that your asking ] would be to
