For years now, I've been considering this cd player upgrade project, and thought I might get some feedback from you guys.

Considering I can get either of theses cd players on ebay for less than $100, and spend $100 on the upgrade costs, I thought I would see if anybody thinks they might have a better solution before I spent the time and money on this.  So, the question is...think you have a better cd player deal, that supports DVD-Audio and SACD for less than $200?  Please keep in mind, I just don't have it in the budget to spend thousands of dollars on a CD player/DAC combo right now.  Plus, I like the challenge of doing the upgrade.  I'm in a project type mood right now. 

I was also considering applying the upgrade idea to this player....

I know people are probably inclined to attack this player, as cd changers introduce all sorts of problems, but I thought it would be interesting to see just how good a 400 disk changer could really sound. 

Any thoughts, advice, suggestions or warnings would be appreciated.
