In the last few years I went through a Naim CD3, and Meridian 508.24, and now I have a sony SA-777ES sacd player. No doubt, the sacd vs. cd through the sony, sacd wins. Recently I purchased a used Meridian 518 and a Wavelength Cosine tube dac (upsamples to 24/96). The 518 reclocks the digital signal to the dac, eliminating jitter. With a good recorded cd, I feel it's better than sacd, partly b/c of the tube output stage. SACD really breathes the music in the room, but the tube helps take that digital glare out that's still present in sacd. My amps are OTL's and are very revealing. Hope this helps.
