system building for $10k with SACD


Learned Audiogoners,

I have $10k to build a system for SACD playback of classical music. I already have a pair of Wilson Benesch Arcs. I am trading up from basic Naim gear. I am amenable to SS or tube sound. I am contemplating a First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk iii, a GamuT D200 Mk iii and a Cary 306 player, all used. Ultralink cables all around. Can anyone design a better system under $10k? Can you..?

I appreciate your counsel. Let me know if I have left out any essential info.

A $60 SACD player would not seem to fit your system, but worth a try before you spend mega bucks. The player is a sony 595, available from sonystyle as a refurb for $60 including shipping. Worth having, even as a back up. The sony 5400 would also be a good choice, but don't waste money on the mods. Get it, play it and then make a decision after a year of play.
