One of the reasons i was thinking of a rDac was also possible streaming music at a later date. I think maybe i would be best to get my power amp and upgrade my speakers first before i think about getting the rDac. You mentioned about cables earlier, i currently have a Monster interconnect that i would be using. Would i be best to get banna plugs for the new speaker cable i'm going to be buying?
I've always (with every amp over the past 30 years) used just bare wires... would advise against bi-wiring, too, with Arcam stuff.
Single and bare wires give the best results. Go Chord SilverScreen speaker cables and Cobra interconnects and you'll be happy for years. Avoid QED cables as they tend to be bass light.
I would give yourself two to three weeks with the A65 and 72, just so you familiarise yourself with the sound and set-up. From there, speakers, power amp and cables (optional).
