AKM makes the best DACs
Got a AKM 4490 in my DAC (Questyle CMA400i) and a AKM 4497 in the Technics SL-G700. Both Sound great. So far, I am a fan of the AKM Chips although I would like to hear a good R2R Dac also since I have read so many good reviews of these.

Bought the Technics SL-G700 SACD Player
@fuzztone  Not sure what you mean? I shouldn't compare SACD to DSD playback of the same track? I think I it was a good test.  
All I Wanted To Do Was Listen To Music
Late 80's I had a Panasonic SG-J555 boombox. Radio, cassette player and 2-speed record player. It was so cool. You press a button and the TT would slide out. I made many great mix tapes on that thing. Damn, wish I still had it.
