The BDA-3.14 has volume control. This control is via the supplied remote or an app (e.g. Bryston's, Roon). And, as has already been said, it will support an SACD feed on its HDMI ports. I'm a dealer and plan to set up a 3.14 for demonstration, by appointment, next week. They are 10% off through the end of April, as well. All Bryston is 10 off.
SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control
I'm in the process of upgrading my stereo system and I'm wondering if there's such combo without too much sacrifice in terms of sound quality. Obviously this is rather subjective so perhaps I'll start off with my system. Previous system comprised: Apogee Centurus driven by Aragon 2004 and Aragon 24KSP. Front ends were Meridian 206 CD Player, Meridian 204 FM Tuner, and Linn Majik DS digital streamer.
So far I've upgraded the speaker to Magnepan 3.7 and power amp to PassLabs X205.5. I'll probably ditch the FM tuner so the logical next step would be the pre-amp and digital front end.
IDEALLY I would like to replace the 206 CD Player, Majik DS streamer AND the 24KSP preamp with ONE unit while gaining SACD capability. So far I've only found Cambridge Audio 851c and Meridian G91A (used) but they're not SACD. Budgetwise 5k USD max.
