The current SOTA SACD player

My current playback includes the non signature version of the EMM Labs Dac's.As I am considering upgrading I would like to know what fellow Audiogoners think will better it in terms of smoothness and detail. Single box player suggestions are certainly welcome with the emphasis being on SACD playback as I have quite a few of these discs.
Thanks

Conversely, both the NWO-2.5 and the EMM Sig I heard in Denver sounded reasonably acceptable to my ears, if not exactly overwhelming.
Brainwater, I could me mistaken, but my read on Guido's comments is that the APL and the EMM Labs Sig I were two players at the show that did NOT fit the dentist drill analogy.

Thank you so much Brent and Boa2. Yes, I did not feel I was being trapanated while listening to APL and EMM. As I said, both room sounded fairly reasonable.

Hi Boa , I was just touching upon the challenges we faced and the lessons I took from it. I got the jest of Guidos comment.
Guido is very well respected in the cpommunity and his words have weight for me.
I couldnt agree more Tvad.
