next upgrade for cdp

So I have got my 555es sacd player. I am happy with it but planning my next upgrade. I have come up with 3 options:
1. Mod the 555es through sacdmods.com or some other means.

2. Invest in an outboard DAC-namely bel canto or scott nixon tube+ dac. I am just wondering if I will still be able to play SACD's?

3. Sell the 555es and get a used cary 303/100 or 308?

I am looking for a slightly warmer presentation as I listen to a lot music from the 70's and 80's. Redbook for that period is a bit digital. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

Hi

I too have a Sony SACD C555es, a very good player with regular CD's and SACd. I just can't justify spending $16 to $20 for recordings that I could buy used for $7 Yes call me a tight wad but it all adds up.
Recently I was fortunate to find a used but perfect condition Jolida CD player right here on Agon for $650. The Jolida seems to let the music flow with less effort. Good detail..but an easy bite.
