Triangle and Coincident are two good choices. 
New format players the future?
With 300.00 SACD players hitting the stores this format will not die.The software will catch up

Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC?
The same Money spent on a good DAC will do REDBOOK way better than the Sony will ever dream of.If you want SACD DVD at the expense of REDBOOK then go for it.If its a REDBOOK player your after stear clear of the SONY even with MODS.

Cary 303-100 versus a modded 333ES
You should concentrate on a Redbook Cd Player.A multui player is a compromise in both SACD and Red book.2 years from Know you can get a dedicated SACD machine that will trounce the one out there know and for a price you can live with.
