Hi Friends:

I am interested in suggestions for a transport/streamer/network player. OK if it has an internal DAC but I would be happy to use my own. I would like the unit to spin physical media as I have a large collection of CD/SACDs. Price not important yet just getting a sense of what might be out there that I am missing.

Your SACD requirement really narrows the field. There are a decent number of units that play CDs and stream, but very few that also handle SACD.

I'm intrigued by the T+A MP 200, looks like a great device but again CD only.

I have been very happy with the Marantz SACD 30 n. I de-cluttered by eliminating a dac, cd,ddc and streamer. Never looked back...

I went the all in one route with a Naim Uniti Star.  It has streaming capability plus a built in CD (no SACD however).  It's 70w/channel but is plenty to power my Goldenear Reference tower speakers.  You could a a SACD transport, the internal DAC is good.

I've been very pleased with my Aurender ACS-10. I've ripped thousands of CDs to the internal drive in FLAC format and have room for thousands more. You havento rip a CD aand play back the file, so it's not exactly a player. I have no complaints about the sound quality I get streaming Qobuz and Tidal although I generally still prefer records.
