I had a good DAC and sold it then bought a good high-end CD player. I have no interest in SACD (for now) since like you, I own nearly 500 regular CD's and a lot of what I like isn't even available on SACD - plus SACD titles cost more.
My logic may be backwards to some but in my opinion it makes more sense to have a very good high-end CD player and just buy a dirt cheap SACD player a little later if you want to experiment SACD players keep coming down in price and used ones keep showing up for even less every day. When a $300 SACD player is available and sounds better than regular CD, I may buy one just for grins.
