DVD A Sacd or Stay put for a while

Sorry if this issue has been beaten to death but... I have a Nakamichi MB-10 that I use as a transport (Digital out) to a MSB Link 3 with upsampling. Sound is good at least I am happy however I view the Nak as the weak component in my system. What I am wondering is if I would notice a difference with any of the new formats ie DVD-A or SACD. I hate to admit it but I like a cd changer for the convience any suggestions?

system is

Nak mb-10

Get a Sony SACD changer and you won't regret it. They are excellent red book players as well. Its looking more and more like SACD is not only here to stay but is the prefered choice among audiphiles. Check out the hi-rez forums at Audio Asylum where SACD is by far the most popular choice. Some of the biggest labels recently announced that they will be going with SACD as well.

You write that you are happy with your system's sound. So what are you asking for besides the hype which is made about new formats in the desperate need for new clients in the high end market? I had the opportunity to listen to SACD the other day. It was pretty disappointing regarding the hype we're all confronted with since the time when software was even more of ridiculous availability AND quality AND price when it comes to real music!
So get a musical life and listen to good music which your system obviously can deliver rather than have sleepless nights over a dead born "greatest thing of all times".
Best of luck!

I second that. When my cd player dies I'll probably replace it with a sacd player.....as long as its redbook playback is also very good....I do think 2002 will be the breakout year for sacd...also,I expect the software will have to drop in price to compete with cd...regards, bluenose
