The new/current model seems to be named SACD 10, which makes it easy to confuse with its very different looking predecessor, the SA-10!

Woah it looks more like a Pass Labs power amp than CD player, and it's £10k. How much was the SA-10 on release?

About £7k I think. The Marantz is a monster, and had a rave review and lab test in Hifi News.
Hard to say how much better it sounds than my £250 Tascam through a decent DAC though. ASR tested the Tascam and declared it the best transport they’d ever measured, which might be why Primare and ATC use it in their players at 10x the RRP.

When you say Tascam, a little bit of me hopes you mean you have one of their DSD recorders 😁

That’s a lot of functionality for the money, and it looks pretty swish too!
The Eversolo T8 streaming transport wants to deliver “high-end audio experience for music lovers and audiophiles alike”
Focusing on what it does best: its excellent streaming platform
Richer have the T8 as an 'in-store clearance' ???.....already?
Hardly a clearance price at £1289 though:

- The traditional CD or if you're lucky to find SACD transport.
- Digital transport and;
- Streaming transport.
Though, I suspect these transports don't come cheap.
Eversolo Streaming transport also serves as a digital transport which is brilliant.
Still it'll be nice if someone can come up with a universal transport that has all three functionality.

The trouble with SACD, which I do like as a classical collector, is it was never intended to offer an output, in order to prevent copying. Of course that long pre-dated streaming in any guise.
Streaming transports indeed make some sense, given as you say many amps now contain a DAC. Many of us end up with too many DACs if not careful!
Not sure about ‘digital transport’. Is that sometimes called a bridge? What does it do?

Yes it is bit of a shame, SACD is a closed shop, neigh on impossible to rip it.
Digital Transport is what came out of China. It's really a mini PC comes in Android or Linux flavours. You can download the Apps and turn it into a streamer, it's a little clunky but it's there if you need it.
My DT, I have my external NVME M2 SSD drive music files connected to it. The USB allows native DSD512 output to DAC (two usb outputs one for storage and the other for the DAC). There's also the option to output from coax or toshlink.
I play my DSD and FLAC files with ease. Modern streamers like WiiM and Eversolo provide the same functionality. I don't stream that much, this is good if you just want to play internal music files, I also have connected to the NAS but almost every time I have to reset my password, I have a tendency to forget! 🙂

How can a turntable with BUILT-IN speakers ever be a serious proposition?

My last iPhone bricked on me but I love the rustic texture of 17 pro Max +++ and it has round corners. Ooooh Aah.

Even that brick would get 5 stars on here!
Tragic news. I have to buy one tomorrow for my wife's friend. It's £1,600 for a phone. Even worse, it's a Cr-Apple phone. The World has gone mad. Never mind, happy wife, happy life.
