BTW after SACD down hard for a long time in my modded SCD-1, I've finally fixed it and had my first opportunity to compare SACD to RBCD since replacing the SC3 with a SC4 & the standard Audio Consulting OTP48 silver transformers with cryoed New Silver Rocks. The gap between SACD and RBCD has widened considerably, leading me to suspect that in many players the analog stage is a gating factor in masking much of what SACD can do. I'm curious whether you observed that SACD got much better relative to RBCD after the mods.
