Esoteric DV-60 or SA-60

The selling price for a DV-60 seems to be about $1500, but I wonder about the price of an SA-60.  There are few data points in the Audiogon Blue Book.  Could there be a premium for SA-60s over a DV-60s, because there's no video processing?  The only SA-60 I find is listed in the US is on eBay for $2K.

gocubs999, I bought the Gaucho SACD in anticipation of the SA-60.  It sounds pretty spectacular in surround played on my Sony 5400ES.  The disc lets the KEF LS50 surrounds shine.  It fired up the Velodyne HGS-15 subs first thing, even though they're crossed at 40 Hz with the KEF Reference 107/2s.  The percussion is amazing.  The SA-60 has its work cut out for it if it's to be more impressive than the Sony with this disc.

I've connected the SA-60 to the Bryston SP3, and both appear to display the desired information, but there has been no sound.  Given that both the SA-60 and SP3 are complex devices, I suspect it's a problem with connections or settings, at least I hope so.  I've tried both single-ended analog 5.1 and balanced stereo.  I suspect the problem may be with the complex and inadequately documented SP3.
