Ditto!

as I am currently wraping up my ZKIT1 I will probably move onto the ZSP1 so I have something to compare to my current setup.

I am seriously looking for a DAC, I don't care either way if it has a tube output stage or not as price would be the biggest concern. Inputs would need optical and digital, usb would be a bonus but not required as I rarely have a pc in my listening area. I've been digging through the DAC kits that I've found online and they are all over the place price wise, more research is needed I think.

Phono stage, I'm very interested in this, I've been looking at tables lately as the wife has a rather large collection that is just collecting dust in her parents attic. So this is almost definitely on the list most likely around the end of the year.

My ZKIT1 is finished an OMFG is it awesome, I've been thinking about it, ZSP1 is most likely next, but truth be told a ZSP1+ that had 1 aux input and a phono stage... I'd be through trying to decide if I will take the plunge. If That became a reality, you would have to sign me up.
