Has anyone compared the Naim Supernait vs Bryston B100-DA SST DAC Integrated Amplifier?

I haven't heard the Naim, but the Bryston is great. The digital section of it is really, really nice too. Besides the LP12 what else is in the system? What are you replacing and why? What are your goals?
My two main sources are the Lp12 and CD WAV files from ITunes on a Mac, which is why I am interested in the Opitcal in / DAC Capability. There are various other sources Ipods, PSP Blueray, DVD etc but none of these are crucial
I listen to a variety of music including Jazz, Blues, Alternative Rock, Vocals etc. My preference is for an integrated solution but would consider separate DAC, Phono PreAmp, PreAmp, PowerAmp etc (if a similar price and much better quality). That said as I move internationally every 12 months an integrated one stop shop is simpler for me and any amp must be 110 / 220v capable
My current speaks are bookshelf speakers (Wharfedale Diamonds 6.3 I think) but I will look to replace in the next 12 months. I have not looked into speakers at this stage - when I upgrade I would look be looking for something equivalent to the Shahinian Obelisk/Arc www.shahinianacoustics.com (as I enjoyed this speaker immensely when I trialled it many years ago)
Cheers
