You have to compare the SACD to a pure DSD download that is not converted to PCM. There are a few players that can play pure DSD now. 
after TT upgrade, digital sounds like crap- help
My Modright Oppo 105 sounds better than the Playback Designs I had which sells for 17,000.00. The Oppo with mod is around 4,000.00.

Send your Oppo 105 to Modright for a tube mod upgrade. It will now compete very well with your vinyl setup. 
Shootout: Raidho C3.1 vs Vivid Giya 2
I heard both at CES and hands down would pick the Vivid. 
Vac Phi 200 vs. Audio Research Reference 75
What you say is true with most small companies. When Israel Bloom of Coincident or the guy from Magico goes, so will those products. I would not worry about this life is too short. Many people know how to fix tube circuits.

Tubegroover I owned the Playback Designs CD player that retails for 17,000.00. The build quality and sturdiness was out of sight. Guess what, the Modright Oppo 105 kicked its ass in every sound category. I have heard the best DCS, Wadia, Esoteric,...
