For people looking for CD Players in Guangzhou: There is a ton of audio stores in the Haiyin Electronics and Xingzhiguang Electric Town area in Dashatou area. You'll find low end to high end equipment.

I'm on the same boat. I'm currently using a Marantz CD5001 to a WA6 to K701. Would it be a good idea to upgrade to the SA8001 even though I don't have a lot of SACDs?

So what does this mean if I've been to the site the last couple days?

I'm using K701, and it seems like I'm getting better details with the high impedance setting.
