congrats on getting a nice unit.
I can comment on Kind of Blue, the sound is not going to be as good as vinyl. I can't comment on the SACD of that but if you like it perhaps get a good SACD of it and see what you think for giggles. I can recommend a SACD, John Coltrane - A Love Supreme if you are into Jazz, that SACD sounds great to me. I put a link to the track Psalm from that album, it blows me away on SACD. What strikes me as seeing you made the right choice are your comments on Modern Cool and Distortion of Love being right to the height on SACD. As are your comments on Lorin Maazel's recording on CD which you said sounded pretty good for just a CD.
I've got a Yamaha CD-S1000, it sounds really excellent on SACD as it should for close to $1,400 and CD sounds great, I doubt the built in DAC would be as good as a Marantz player in the league you have. I use a separate DAC for my CD playback. If you are serious about that expect to pay around double for what you paid for your player.
With your player I wouldn't recommend getting a separate DAC, and definitely not an Oppo, there is no comparison to Marantz in terms of the levels you have moved up in their line.
I wish you many many years of enjoyment, I would have to say you did great in terms of your search.
I myself have been using digital transports for high res and DSD files, but nothing beats a rock solid disc player if one is really serious about music.
