Based on my experience I am not sure you would gain much. I like very much the 360D but I would not be willing to sell my MCD301 in favor of the 360D. I would prefer instead up grade to the MCD550 or esoteric K03, since both have the DAC input.

It is difficult to say which of the 260d or the c50 would offer the best performance, but for me i would just pass and go to higher end model I Can afford and use the DAC of the source instead of the C50. BTW, the C50 is the next preamp I intend to purchase; your situation is similar to mine.

EDIT:
My CDP is Simaudio 360D, not 340i as previously written.
