New CDP or standalone DAC...?

If you can push your budget schiit yggdrasil and Cambridge Audio CXC will be a sustainable positive upgrade to your system.

Yggy won't do SACDs.

Get an Oppo-205 (their best) and put the other $700 towards room treatments.

You can always use it as a standalone transport later if you want to add a $5,000 DAC...

but I do want to play SACDs and HDCDs. MQA seems interesting too.

Don't think you find something that has proper hdcd PMD100 or PMD200 chips and do sacd as well, let alone mqa also.

I found only one SACD/CD player that has also a proper PMD200 HDCD chip in it as well for HDCD Cd's, and that is the  CLASSE AUDIO OMEGA SACD

@randy-11, Already done treatments. 105 now 205 has been under consideration for some time. Nice to hear from someone who has heard it.
@georgehifi , interesting! I am looking forward to learning about the Classe.
Thanks for all the responses.
