Hello folks, I have issues with my SGCDas far as its digital inputs which when used just major distortion , the analog inputs/output works fine so obviously an issue needing repair,after taking suggestions from forum members as far as what Might be the issue, nothing suggested cured the problem but I am grateful for the input:v:
.
So now I am looking for a quality preamp besides the obvious BHK (not in position to go that high at the moment) I have access to a mint Musical Fidelity M6pre for about the same cash as a used SGCDgoes for. As far as impedance in/outputs specs it seems like a favorable match , if anyone has any seat time with this preamp or any MF equipment, input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you kindly 
Have you checked with PS Audio to see if they would give you a great deal if you trade in your SGCD toward the new Stellar Gold preamp?

PS Audio game me a great trade in on my Stellar Gain Cell towards the BHK Pre. There was no Stellar Gold at the time but I’m assuming they would have a great offer for you. If you’re in The USA it’s definitely worth a call to the sales team.

M6 is a great pre amp for the money. M8 better and both can be found used. M6 pretty cheap.
Trade to the Gold might be a option if you want to stay with PS. Or look at Benchmark LA4. Used is reasonable and very good reviews.
I have had MF stuff. Amp was great, dac sucked. As always, a trial is worth a ton

What DAC are you using? I had an SGCD with M700s and upgraded to Holo Audio Spring3 DAC and Serene pre.
