That may be a vintage system that you have but it is a very fine vintage system.I am going with others in recemmending the Marantz SA 11-S3. My friend has the SA 8005, a couple of models down the range here in Europe, and I find it very musical. The top of the line SA 11-S3 is bound to be even better.
The front USB input is described by Marantz as being for an ipod or iphone hence the limited specification. The rear USB input is for computer connection and is described as a high speed USB input. I have checked all of the Marantz literature ( incluing the downloaded USB manual) but can find no technical details. I am certain that it will handle FLAC files and high speed would imply at least capability up to 24/192 files but it might be worthwhile checking with Marantz USA (especially as specifications can vary between models foe different markets).
Given the cost and excellent performance of my friend's SA 8005 and the price here of the SA 11-S3 I suspect that any substantive step up in performance from it is going to up the budget significantly.
I have to say that from a long term aspect I would not invest in a Chinese product in this kind of price rage myself. Great until you need support in,say, 2021.
