Depends on where you would like to be at the end of the upgrade path.

I had been tempted to go this route with my 5i - the mark II with the passive pre-amp section - and even looked at a couple of other alternative products to NAIM.

I then tried some different IC's and power cables on all of my components - which left me wondering exactly why did I want to upgrade the amp at all.

Now I am very satisfied with the sound and plan on keeping the 5i for the foreseeable future.
