Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Yes, it's one of the worst...

Let me thank everyone for their input. The MOFI SACD of Kind of Blue arrived, and I have listened to it. It is much better than the CD I had, and perhaps comparable to the vinyl releases that so enthrall me. I don't know if a fancier SACD player and/or DAC would have made the SACD clearly better that the vinyl or not. But at this point I am satisfied enough to keep the the Marantz (SA14S1). It is in general substantially better at playing CD's than my Onkyo, I don't think CD's sound as good (in general) as vinyl on my system, but the SACD's are damn close, and maybe better in some respects.
This Marantz isn't exactly cheap, but neither is it outrageous, and in fact is still only about half the cost of my vinyl rig. Not so expensive that I couldn't consider a separate DAC in the future.
