Here's my system. Bear in mind I'm 20, work for a Hi-Fi Retailer, and have this set up in a university Dorm room. It ****ing KICKS.

The weak point in the system is definitely the Amplifier at this point, but considering its at least 15 years old and I bought it second hand, it actually kicks a whole bunch of ass.

Speakers: £399 at time of purchase.
Cambridge interconnects: £49.95
Amplifier: £80 second hand. I don't think the shop had a clue what they had, its very good for that money...
Optical Cable: Who cares, its digital, they all sound the same.
Soundcard: £70 - Was actually a warranty replacement for an Auzentech card which was much better on analogue output, but considering I'm using the optical, I doubt theres any difference between the two now.
DAC: £199 and it ROCKS.

Is the Cambridge Audio an outboard D/A converter?

Yup.

Edit: I forgot to mention, I only use the amplifier from that denon system. THe rest of it would have been worthless to me, so I never bought the other components.

lol, I'm just now getting back to this thread after a month. GB, I'm curious, what was the impetus to buy an outboard DAC? Is it for the computer?

Yes it was. My soundcards analogue outpus aren't exactly the best in the world, so I decided to use the digital out on the card instead and run it into a DAC. As far as the computer is concerned the soundcard setup hasn't changed, so ease of use is great, but sound quality is vastly improved.
