I've owned the SA-14 v2 for 2 years. Overall, it's a musical, detailed player which presents good soundstage and imagining. Did a comparison with a Meridien 508 last year for a week, the Meridien was marginally more detailed but less dynamic.
I've just sent my player for modification; upgrading to FRED ultrafast soft-recovery diodes, internal rewiring with better cables and using Black Gate caps for power supply filtering and analog sections. Hopefully, this mod will bring about significant improvements.
