Looks like a cracking show and system set up.
Is that a Denon DVD 2910 in the system?
I've heard some really good things about that DVD/CD player. I think it plays SACDs too.
How did it fair on the day? Did its sound improve through another DAC? Was the transport up for handling a better DAC?
If it was a belter, check this one out here for peanuts on fleabay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DENON-DVD-...38.m2548.l4275

Yes that's mine, it plays CD, SACD and DVD Audio and I actually thought it sounded better than the Pioneer stable platter player into the Beresford SEG DAC. We didn't use the Denon without the SEG.
We originally chose to use the Pinoeer as we thought it was be better sounding with the SEG and as the Denon was having a bit of a hissie fit playing certain CD's. Not sure why, but I forgot batteries for the remote so couldn't play around to sort it out.
