I wouldn't even bother. Check out www.tweakaudio.com, which is the website for Electronic Visionary Systems. Ric Schultz has been modifying MSB DACs and various CD/DVD transports and has a very high-end DAC of his own, but his most recent project is modifying the Sony ???9000 DVD/SACD player. Ric rebuilds all the areas Sony has compromised on at a price point Sony could never match, and I'd bet his 9000 will outperform anything Sony comes out with, including the SCD-1, and you get a DVD player in the bargain. Ric stands by his work and offers an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose by giving it a shot.
Just so you know, I own the EVS Millennium DAC 1 and am absolutely thrilled with the performance I'm getting and with the service Ric provides along with it--that's why I'm bringing this up. If you want more information you can go to the website or read my review on the Millennium DAC for The Stereo Times(www.stereotimes.com) that provides a little more background. Best of luck.
