One upgrade that I am looking forward to in the near future is a new transport. The NAD doesn't like cdr's at all, which just isn't any good.
I haven't really looked at the 47Labs gear because it is pretty far out of my pricerange. I tend to spend much more on the software vs. the hardware so I really only have about 450 -550 to spend on a transport. Any suggestion?

I will be getting new powercords for my system this next semester when I start working again.

Well in all honesty I can't compare them to very many amps. I know that they have more than enough power for my apartment, and that they are super clean. I listen to primarily classical, and live recordings, and when I added them to the other components (these were the last piece) everything opened up quite a bit.

Probably doesn't help you much...

I think they are great, and the company that makes and sells them is a blast to do business with.
