News help choosing a SACD Player / transport

First, thank you all for your answers and suggestions.

Some of them request or need more information from my side, here it is:

My DAC: Lampizator Golden Atlantic: it is a previous version of the present Atlantic TRP, made with better components than its equivalent Atlantic. I love its sound and I think it does not convert DSD to PCM.

My DAC playing DSD files: I made several comparisons with files downloaded from Native DSD, and I prefer always the DSD file to the PCM file. It does not matter the recording was made in PCM or in DSD or in “Pure” DSD.

My small problem and why I have put this demand for help: my ripped SACDs (all of them old Classical recordings of great and big orchestras) sound worse when played with my system: server - Roon app - Lampizator DAC than when played with an Esoteric K-03XDse (owned by a friend) Besides, ripping the SACDs is a non easy task for me.

So for the time being and from the answers, I see three options:

1) Go with Esoteric PLAYERS, but price of the lowest one K-05xd is too high

2) Go with the Onyx Zenith XST20 TRANSPORT, whose specs say it delivers “DSD64 via DoP or D2P via Optical / Coaxial / BNC / AES” to any DAC: that would be my case as my DAC has not I2S input.

But I do not have any reference from this manufacturer owned by Shanling, and no dealer in my zone has this equipment.

3) Keep my system as it is … but all of you know that this is not a pleasant thing for any of us.

Any other idea or recommendation for my three options?

Shanling Onyx SACD transport. $2400, should work with your budget

It will do native dsd transport through I2S only and offers 10 different adjustable I2S pin configurations (fpgq assisted for compatibility with any number of dacs).

Don't get stuck with some other gatekeeping manufacturer forcing you on their own dac & transport combos..

PS Audio, Esoteric, Luxman, McIntosh 

I have an Esoteric K-05X, that I bought slightly loved. Great value IMO.

I’ve got a Lampizator big 7 dac - as well as an oppo sacd player and a pro ject rad standard red book transport - 

I’ve given up on DSD - even though my dac will play DSD.  Sacd are mostly multi channel - and the only way I can successfully play an sacd layer is to use the dac in the oppo and output all analog channels to my multi channel ht processor 

ive also found that there are few sacd recordings recorded well enough to bother with the hassle - red book cd’s on the pro ject transport sound better than the tidal streamed equivalent - but it mostly depends on the quality of the original recording -  and how many copies of dire straits / pink Floyd and steely Dan do you need to have 

id rather listen to discs through my two channel set up than the multi channel home theatre set up as the fidelity is better
