I often travel to this part of the world - they are on the other side of the Lake from Evian, in France. It is a pretty place to be building hifi. I should try and make a visit.
One thing to note is whilst the SACD player can be fitted with a DAC module, it is quite basic, just a pair of Wolfson 8742 DAC chips. Although this is how my fiend heard it, and liked it.
I think you really need to be using their separate DAC to get the most out of the transport. This uses 8 PCM1704 chips, which are hard to get and can sound very good. I like ladder DACs (have MSB, which make their own discrete ladder DAC).
The combination of player and DAC is going to be pretty expensive.

Thanks
I wonder if I could use my Sooloos as the transport into the Dac?
Sounds like it's time f or me to have a listen.
