CD/ SACD advice needed


Hi have a McIntosh system with a Mc CD player that has a hard time reading disks.  I'm thinking of adding an SACD transport and leveraging the nice DAC DA2 in my Mc integrated amp.  Can I buy a less expensive CD player like the Arcam CDS50 and expect excellent sound because of the Mc DAC?  Or would upgrading to a new Mac SACD/ CD player just sound alot better.  It would be using the same DAC in my integrated amp.

Thanks!

Been thinking about the Geerfab. Most reviews just say that it works. Not much about SQ. 
most posts on Audiogon have been removed so anybody that owns one would you consider it a audiophile component?

I sold an Oppo Modwright 105d and now just have a 103 around for Blu Rays. 

I may be interested at Uptown’s price. Any input would be appreciated. 
Thanks
