Save yourself from the high cost of diminishing returns on the dollar

I finally found a review of the Technics SLG 700 CD/SACD/Network player, TRUE BALANCED @ $2999 in the new HiFPig

I have a Oppo105 that I bought new some 6+ years ago, specifically for my growing SACD and DVD-A collection. I was using a near new wonderfully built Marantz HD CD-1 ($500) as a transport to play red book, using the dac portion of my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5.  A few years later I came across superior Linear Power Supplies on ebay which significantly upped the105s game (<$400): fairly simple DIY. My points being, the105 lazer has worked flawlessly, and yes SACD classical sounds clearly superior to red book!


Now, a few days ago I saw a 2 box BOW Technologies CD player on Agon for $3000. Those are built like Rolls Royces

Technics sells a GLS 700 which plays both CD and SACD. The interior design, specs and build quality are impressive. Alas, I haven't been able to find a review in English. MSRP $2999. If it only lasts 6-10 years, chances are better players will be available
