Enjoy! I love those loudspeakers.
But, I would think about spending a little more to get a Music Hall MMF-2.2 instead of the Rega RP1. The Peachtree DACiT is nice, but I think you will get more for your $450 with a Schiit Bifrost USB DAC. Only $350 if you only use the optical output of the Airport Express.
Blue Jeans Cables are an exceptional value.
Thanks for the reply!
I believe I will put off the turntable for the time being (in order to save up for the Music Hall) and focus on the PM6004 and CD6004 with some quality Blue Jeans cables as my next step. The Bifrost DAC is certainly intriguing as well. I believe I'll be making the switch from the Peachtree product.
Anybody have recommendations for budget record cleaning kits and/or products? My significant other inherited some fantastic records from her father (including Bowie's Station to Station (!)) that badly need a deep clean.

I might not be so hasty to give up on the DACiT. Computer Audiophile gave it a great review and stuck it on their "Suggested Hardware" list, among many other DACs that cost many times more.

Admittedly I haven't heard either, but it looks like you've chosen a winner and if I were you I'd do a little more investigation before you shrug it off.
Looks like some good choices there so far.
I second the recommendation on the Music Hall 2.2 turntable.
I prefer Audioquest Diamondback interconnects.
