Should I try to upgrade or scrap it all

I have a Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 transport and a SFD-1 MKII. Is this worth trying to upgrade or should I start all over.This equipment was considered high end at one time. I would say the sound is comparable to my Philips SACD DVD 963 that I use for video. Philips seems to have a little more detail but I love those tubes. Any sugestions?

I would suggest looking at Audio Note DACs - incredibly musical, tube, and up-to-date performance. Should be a remarkable step up for not a lot of cash (depending on model selected)...

What about a used Meridian CDP, either a 506 or 508. Extremely musical CDP's. They should be very affordable used by now.

Will I need an upsampler between the SFT transport and the Audio note DAC to get the best performance or will the Dac upsample for me.I have a DIP but not the upsampler. I take it you think this unit will give me the best of both worlds tube, plus up to date conversion?

Thanks
