A stock EMM CDSA is a ways ahead of an Resolution Opus (if that's the model you're referring to) on redbook - and does the Opus even do SACD? Good SACDs on the EMM machine rival vinyl setups of similar value IMO.
$5K for an "upgrade" of a $10K player (now available for under $5K used) is quite a lot of money, however.
