Best Value/Performance In An SACD Player For $2k, Or Less, Used?


As the title says I have been debating what the best options in players are for strictly playing SACD's. 

I had been considering a used Sony 5400, but those are now over ten years old, and Sony players of that, and a bit earlier period, are notorious for lasers failing. 

Any expertise, insight, recommendations or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I got a lightly used Marantz SA-KI Ruby for just a bit over your ceiling, and thrilled. Goal was my end game shiny disc spinner, and also functioning as a very good DAC.

There has never been a better time to invest in a SACD player. If you have a fave brand, go for it!  Otherwise, look for Models with low miles so to speak. I own several in my collection which can be viewed in Virtual Systems.
 

Happy Listening!
