Need help on a new CD/SACD player


My Marantz SA15 died. The transport/laser part is unavailable. So I need a new unit. Considering the Arcam CDS50 or going with Cambridge CX transport and DAC. I am new to streaming so forgive the ignorance. 1200+ CDs so not ready to go full streaming but it might be a nice addition.

My system is all tube and I have a Michell Gyro dec for analog.

Any suggestions?

If SACD (and Blu Ray) was important-you said it wasn't, but if you have a change of heart--I would get a Sony Universal Player( generally $3-400) and consider adding a good DAC for around a $1000. If the DAC has a usb input, and you want to dip your toe into streaming, you can use a desktop or laptop ,as the streaming services all have apps that work with computers.  You can then add a dedicated streamer later if you wish
