Hi Damon,
You might want to consider a Gato DIA-250 or DIA-400... I doubt it's a better product but it could certainly be fun to compare. The DIA-400 boasts 400W so depending on your choice of speakers this might be an advantage. Both models are cheaper than the D120, the DIA-250 considerably so. There have been some positive reviews of the Gato in various magazines and I know James at Hifi Wigwam really rated the DIA-250:
