Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer?


I think my SCD-1 is very good and beautifully made, but at the end of the day, I am listening to digital less and less, other than from my PC.

So I am thinking about recycling some of its resale value into a turntable, and building up a WAF file music server.

If I were to sell my SCD-1, is there anything that will give me 75% + of the sound on a budget, albeit without the gorgeous build quality?

how about a TRL modded sony 595? or another budget player wiht some mods? i've got a VSE level 5 modded 9000 and I am very happy with it.
this thread asked for a best bang for buck mod or player. i think the TRL mods are on the cheaper side, right? so i suggested it as a possibility. but if i had the dough, i'd go for APL's mod. Somewhere in the middle is where I ended up, very happy I might add. The VSE level 5 mod is really oustanding. Definitely betters many players I've had, including the BAT VK D5SE and the Wadia 860x.

as are yours...
Jes45, no comment. What I think about you, your posts and your attitude don't belong in this forum.

If there is one thing I've learned in all the buying and selling I've done over the years, it's that what is the best for one person is not necessarily the best for me. I'm sure the TRL is excellent, especially considering it's price point. The best, better than anything else out there? I doubt it, but it doesn't really matter. I've got excellent reproduction with what I've got, and I'm very happy (for now!). :)
