Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well

Thanks lady and gent.

Actually, my Sony 555 is modified with LClock and Zapfilter from LCAudio. A similar tweak as in Vacuum State, which feeding the DSC output directly to the Zapfilter and bybassing the opamp module. After-mod 555 is comparable with the Sony SCD-1.
I'm now itchy and finding a reason for upgrade. The EMM labs is so tempting that I may wait a longer to save up more $$$.

get Marantz SA1, sounds good on both CD and SACD. Personally, I think Sony SCD1 shall lose to it, it beated SCD777ES already.

Wally -- If you can get the $$, Go for the Emm Labs.
I find that in the long run, you end up saving money
when you upgrade in larger steps.

The Classe Omega is in your range. Joesph Audio used it in last year's HEC show and it sounded unbelievable on both cd and sacd. Definitely try one if you can before making your decision.

Tireguy--no one's mentioned the Switchman which can be used with DAC 6.
