thus, i am looking for a tube-based sacd player that has a retail under $5000.
i have investigated the following players and have ruled them out:
raysonic shanling xindak cayin i would appreciate the names of other tube sacd players that hopefully have robust transports, capable of reading sacds from different layers, and are warm sounding.
I owned a Raysonic... nice piece, however a LINN DS will trash it and any of those players in that list (easily). And there are already people out there that are able to extract the DSD and rip to FLAC or WAV files. Eliminate the spinning disc totally and your eyes will be opened to a new level of sound.
