New DAC for Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.?

I still love my Richard Kern modified Sony SACD player. In my ears better than Oppo UDP-205 that I bought to replace it with.  It is now almost 20 years since these came out.
Like many of these units, the SACD laser is not working as well. But CD is still flawless.
How about buying a DAC for Redbook?

Would a Schiit, Benchmark, Mytek, iFi, or Ayre make a real difference.

 

(The musical experience from my analog turntable set up is still much superior.)

Thank you.

2 ES Sonys in my arsenal, Unless they go up in smoke, They’ll stay..

I have a pro Denon that was tighten up by a buddy It is a good unit also.
He does about 40 dollars worth of parts... lots of features. I have to dig that back out... I’d actually forgot about it... It will work good along with the RtR (just thinkin’ out loud) for a couple of things, I’m getting ready to do..

I’m actually happy with the Music Channels, there are a couple that the quality is REALLY good to my ears.. After 2:00 am it’s about as good as it gets.. Grid is a lot quieter. AC are all off this time of year... Wonderfull!

I been listening for over 4 hours tonight, no fatigue.. Blues, Jazz and a little Coral music, to xylophone it up a bit..

Vinyl is great... BIG ol SMILE!

Happy Happy
