Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well
I ordered mine several months ago and should receive it in a few weeks. I can't say for sure, but it seems like they're ramping up production now. In any case, I feel like it's the player I'll be using for a long time since it's upgradable in futu...

Wait. I did. 
What is the best sounding SACD on the market?
Meitner.

Let's face it: the EMM Labs is said by many to offer the bery best CD performance available, better than the Linn CD12 at a lower price. What more can you ask for? Viel Spass!

The DCC 2 is both units; if you want separates, and to pay more, you get the DAC 6 and Switchman. Though obviously you can use any preamp with the DAC 6.

Tireguy--no one's mentioned the Switchman which can be used with DAC 6. 
VPI Aries - either or question, please comment
But Plato, how did the HR-X sound? 
EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS
I have to say I agree. I remember when beginning my stereo journey that I listened to a pair of Meitner mono amplifiers. They were extremely musical. The man knows what he's doing.

Tireguy--I'm not taking that chance. I ordered separates. Separate power supplies make a big difference.

Any thoughts on the merits of the DCC2 versus the DAC 6 and Switchman? Obviously speculative, but my guess is that the separates will sound superior to the DCC2. Though both will sound top-notch. 
Difference between SL and Helicon?
The difference is significant and worth every penny. I had both. 
Tenor 75Wp monos & Amati Homage
You need to be very sure that they provide sufficient power for your listening level. The higher powered Tenors might be more suitable. 
Looking for recommendations to use Rives Audio ...
I'm in the midst of room construction via Rives. They know what they're doing and offer tailored advice. I doubt you would get similarly fastidious attention elsewhere. 
Opinions, Classe Omega verse Levinson 333 or 336
The Classe is much better. I've heard Levinson and Classe.
