Now I am considering something really different. Forget the mods, forget the outboard DAC. If I did all the mods and still bought an outboard upsampling/interpolating DAC, I would spend as much as I would if I bought a used Sony SCD-1, which appears to do great things on both SACD and redbooks. I know, I wanted a changer for my wife, but I could buy a cheap changer for her for the two or three times a year she actually uses the stereo. Am I crazy or what?
Sony SCD-333ES HELP
I found one of these players new and have decided to buy it. My initial intention is to you use it as a transport to feed an outboard DAC, maybe like the Bel Canto DAC 2. I am considering this because I have several hundered redbook CD's and no SACD's. I bought it because I wanted a multi-disc player as a transport.
My dilemma is, should I do as planned or get the thing modded out and try it as a stand alone player? ( I figure to get the thing totally tricked out would cost about $700, $200 more than I paid for it).
I would love to hear some opinions about this.....thanks,
