New DAC for Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.?

I still love my Richard Kern modified Sony SACD player. In my ears better than Oppo UDP-205 that I bought to replace it with.  It is now almost 20 years since these came out.
Like many of these units, the SACD laser is not working as well. But CD is still flawless.
How about buying a DAC for Redbook?

Would a Schiit, Benchmark, Mytek, iFi, or Ayre make a real difference.

 

(The musical experience from my analog turntable set up is still much superior.)

Thank you.

I have a 105 that I DIYed via PNP a new LPM and IEC Furutech rhodium with pure silver tails to the LPM board and ground (both from Ebay) a couple years ago now. No issues, BUT, I stumbled across the Technics SL G700 SACD and streamer that has incredible attention to detail.

I started a thread for input


MSRP $3000. I am anxious to compare, but $3000 is a bit out of reach right now
