Actually Clint you have a pretty sweet setup circa 1979. I'd re-cap the amp and replaces the tweeters before I'd buy new! The UAC-202 is probably OK, but you can get a nicer DAC for not too much. You can get a Native Instruments Audio Kontrol One for under $100 on EBay. I use that for DJ'ing and playing live, and it sounds really good.
