Thanks, the Kairn is what I've been thinking of to replace the LK1.

No problem, I appreciate your reply. I am not a Rhapsody user, but I'll
see if I can find the same tracks elsewhere or maybe sign up for a free
trial of Rhapsody - I see there is a 30 day free trial so I'll probably
use this opportunity to check it out.
I can try to listen to the tracks you ment

I have the VDA-2 and love it. It does sound better than the SB3's
internal DAC, regardless of what others might say.

using lossless files that would be a different story (and that would
still depend on your ears and how picky
Did you have a look at the other recent dac-thread? If you're mostly
listening to internet radio at anything below the highest quality I'd
