Perhaps there are some SACDs that are not available on Qobuz, but my Aurender N20 downloads streamed files to an internal SSD and plays the SSD, just like it plays ripped CDs, only higher resolution, so no need for SACDs. I purchased my Aurender used and the Holo May DAC KTE for just a bit more than a $12K budget. I use a Shunyata Sigma AES/EBU between the streamer and DAC. I’ve not found an affordable USB that bests the Shunyata AES/EBU. I use a Shunyata Sigma Ethernet cable between the wall and the streamer and Sigma 2 NR power cords to all components from a Shunyata Everest power conditioner. All components were critical. I spent more on the power components than on the streamer and DAC combined. So, just buying the MCD12000 isn’t the only consideration.

Any thoughts or reviews on this unit, is it worth the twelve grand price tag.
