I know this is hard to comprehend, but it’s new tech and far exceeds the Select II with the digital director today. Price? Less expensive by nearly 50% of that previous combo. $95k MSRP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s both, but their strength is DSD (SACD). They still dominate by a country mile for SACD (which is DSD on a disc). In my opinion…. Best DAC’s for DSD: - Esoteric - Lampizator - Meitner/EMM (not my kind of sound, but they execute it...

Since they are the same DAC, perhaps you may look into upgrading the CD transport or/and clock. Also note that you can power down the network board in N-05XD when you're using a non-network digital input.
