I have the cd-s2100 and its been in my system a couple of years.
Its a quality piece of gear all round. Well designed, build quality is excellent, and the sound quality is fantastic. I'm surprised there is not more buzz around these units. I think it's due to the fact that Yamaha isn't exactly a small boutique brand.
SACD sound is great as long as the recording is. Redbook CD sounds equally good. Detailed, smooth, very finely grained sound.
The only things I could knock is the disc load time, and that you have to loop through the input modes to switch inputs on the DAC.
