Best Recording of Music
I can't believe we've gotten this far into a "best sounding" thread without someone mentioning Hugh Masekala's "Hope", especially the 45 RPM double LP  from Analogue Productions. It's a great sounding recording and really good music IMHO.

a58g,Glad you enjoyed it. I think it's a great softer rock record. Good early morning wake-up call or nighttime sign-off...I've really enjoyed this thread, along with "what's playing on your system" and "what's in your CD player". I've found some ...

I still have the Jensen tools I received when I started my first professional electronics job in 1982. I use them regularly and have not had a single failure, except due to misuse. The Jensen kit includes AMP wire cutters and wire strippers and I'...

palasr,Thanks for your post about the 12" single of Supertramp's 'Cannonball". I took a look on eBay and found one in the UK. It's on the way to my house. Hopefully its the correct one. It is a 12" 45 RPM single. Side 1 is Cannonball (Direct to ...

Good Luck. I hope it turns out well for both of you.BTW, I've had over 100 transactions on AudiogoN over the last 16 years and I have yet to have a dispute or even a significantly negative experience. As long as you are reasonable and use your hea... 
Best of both worlds? (Relatively speaking)
You should be able to use any one of those digital outputs into a DAC and then connect it to your SA-9100. You can get an inexpensive DAC, like the Audioquest Dragonfly, Parasound Z-DAC or Shiit MODI-2 to get you started. Just put it in-line betwe...

Don't worry. It will probably work out. Contact the seller, or AudiogoN, and it will get resolved.Good Luck and Enjoy your new audio purchase.TIC 
Best of both worlds? (Relatively speaking)
Agreed with Paraneer. You need to ditch the HT receiver if you want the best sound. Also replacing the SA-9100 with a DO NOT connect both sets of speaker cables to your speakers. What would probably be better is to get a device that will convert y... 
Best of both worlds? (Relatively speaking)
Sorry, I don't understand what your speakers being bi-wired has to do with anything. Why do you have to use them bi-wired for digital, but not for analog?What is your source for your hi-res digital music? Can you connect that source into your SA-9...

astro58go,I bought Red House Painters - Songs for a Blue Guitar based on your post. Thanks....However, I bought Brother Where You Bound in 1985! ;~) Been in regular rotation since then.  
Looking for suggestions
Yes, a single DAC with multiple inputs can improve your current CD playback and streaming digital. For $1000, I would stick with a DAC, not a CD player with digital input. Reason is the DAC/digital input will likely be an after-thought on a sub $1...
