Bettering DL 103 ? suggestions ?
The Kontrapunkt B is a sensible choice. I own one and also Koetsus and Ikedas. Try the 'punkt. Let in run in for about 50 hours and you will start hearing improvements over your already good 103.

DVD-A/SACD two box solution what do you think?
If you want an inexpensive solution for DDVD, DVD A, DAD, and CD try the Pioneer DVD players like DV 656A or its follow-on. It's also newer technology than the Toshiba. 
et tu Koetsu?
Hey Romy-What else do you like? Have you tried the Ikeda?
