Dali Kupid vs Edifier R1280T: Is The Upgrade Worth 6x The Money?

I own both the Dali Kupid and the Edifier R1280T. Same room, same records, same Pro-Ject E1 turntable. The Kupid at £299 is properly better than the Edifier R1280T at £100, but it also needs a separate amp, so the real question is £100 vs £598. Whether that six-times price jump is worth it depends on what you already own and how you actually listen.
