caphill - thanks for the information. I haven't set a budget. This is my retirement system, so I'm going to get what I want - but at the same time, spend as little as possible.
I've considered an integrated tube amp, but then I'd need a good DAC and phone preamp. I've considered a McIntosh integrated amp that comes with everything, but I've always like separate components.
I've considered keeping the M12 and buying a better DAC, phone preamp, and either SS or tube power amp. I'm doing research, talking to folks with more knowledge and better gear that I have, and auditioning dealer gear. I hope to have everything I need before Christmas :-).
