I researched both of the links you kindly provided and, put simply, the DAC is too expensive ... but the Pioneer unit you linked me to is more like it. Considering the pace of technology, do you have a newer and/or better recommendation now?
If you really want to benefit from SACD audio quality, you need a really expensive SACD player like Esoteric. Good SACD players are much more expensive than good CD players.
