I'm tempted to get a Audionote Jinro next, always fancied one, couldn't afford to buy a new one and would take some serious saving of the old pennies to get one

aiming to get a dedicated sacd player and move away from cd transport /dac model . it gets rather expensive trying to upgrade dacs these days !!
Assume you'll keep the DAC / transport though due to SACD limited catalogue? Am not even convinced it's a better format than good redbook / CD, and then at the contentious 24bit / 96kHz (I think the masterings are different in themselves to 16/44.1) you're hitting the same measurements as SACD albeit with heavier handed methods than massive oversampling of SACD / DSD.
Sell almost all my hifi. Just put down a deposit for a Devialet ex-demo from a main dealer (40% discount), will be upgraded to the new 250 Pro and there is a free UnPnP/DNLA upgrade for 2016 upgrade orders. Going to the store to sort that tomorrow.
So will be able to sell monoblocks, phono amp, passive pre-amp, DAC, streamer, its external PSU and loads of cables. Thats 7 boxes to get rid of, replaced by a wedge of aluminium. That will leave me with a turntable, its external 33/45 power supply and a P3 power plant. With a bit of luck the whole thing will be a cash neutral change.
Yup. Sell everything. Mind you, the wife is scrap value only. :eek:
Think I'm returning to valves again in 2017.
