How Come NO SACD (Stock) Players With Tube Output Stage?


I know there are plenty of CD players with a tube output stage but how come there are none (or next to none) SACD/CD players with a tube output stage stock? Only one comes to mind was the Shanling SCD-200 I believe from the early 2000s and maybe the Ayon? Any others out there? I would think manufactures would want to please the audiophile crowd since both a SACD AND tubes are popular-thoughts?

I still listen to SACDs.

Question: since SACD players are all hybrid these days,is it any more difficult adding a tubed output stage for SACD/CD player than it is for just a standard CDP?

To the OP how many SACD’s do you own? I would think going with a tubed DAC and streaming DSD files may be the next best thing.

I am not into streaming DSD files neither. To my ears, the physical discs sound better, more natural. I look forward in reading which player purchased.  Happy Listening!
