A DC3A is a pretty nice unit all by itself.   I'm not sure of any real 
options.   You will
however wish to make sure you have the latest firmware (you can download 
this off
the Yamaha website yourself) if you want to play the piano smart disks 
(or whatever
they call the synchronized piano/CD things).

A quiet computer with a MIDI interface near the piano (mine is in a 
little wheeled
rack I slide underneath) makes it easy to exploit the tons of digitized 
piano rolls
out there.
