new player or dac

I have put together a new system and have left the source for last.
It includes Musical fidelity A3cr amp/preamp and tuner, straigtwire encore II interconnects, nordost solar wind speaker cable and audio physic tempo III speakers. my source is a sony c79es multi disc changer. I can't decide if I should buy the new sony sacd changer or at the suggestion of a salesman buy the new musical fidelity 24/96 upsampling dac. any suggestions?

If you're going to avoid the new formats for a while the DAC may be a good option if it's not overly expensive. Otherwise the best way to go without having to invest too much into the evolving SACD/DVD-A technologies might be to buy one of Sony's cheaper SACD changers and have it modified by Stan Warren, Dan Wright, or Ric Shultz(www.tweakaudio.com). This way for about $1000 or less you'll have a player that can compete with CD players that cost 2-3 times that much and you'll also be able to get your feet wet with SACD. Best of luck.
