All thank you for your comments and your insights. A few weeks ago my old Micromega CD player died and comments in this forum helped with my decision to purchase a brand new SA10 last week. Although, I have not explored all capabilities, it sounds excellent and certainly an improvement over the prior unit. It sounds great with excellent recordings and very good with average stuff. It has excellent pace and no sound coloration. All instruments have proper voicing and are well defined in space. Music files from iPhone 6 sounded very good as well but inferior to CDs. The music material used were mainly from American and Japanese jazz artists and wide range of blues, recorded at various time periods. The whole frequency spectrum is covered properly, with very articulate base, when captured in the recording. The sound from the headphones was great as well (used Shure 1540 and Sennheiser HD1). The rest of the equipment and cables are from FM Acoustics with speakers from German Physiks. I hope this may help others that consider buying an SA10 SACD player. Once again, thanks for your insights.
