it does not look as fancy as the sa-60 but for 2 channel playback the indsie is the same.

Not exactly!

1. SA-10 does not convert PCM (CD) to DSD like SA-60 does. I am not a big fan of this process/feature, but it might be helpful in some bright sounding systems and with irritating CD recordings.

2. Power supply is different, and SA-60 has the edge.

3. The analog output stage is different in favor of the SA-60 again.

I am talking Stereo only.
