I've had both Marantz and Oppo. I found the Marantz to be the more relaxed while the Oppo had better detail resolution and dynamics. The Oppo was a touch too analytical in my rig at the time, and I stuck with the Marantz 8004.
Best reasonably priced SACD player?
First time I've ever started a thread asking for "the best" of anything because I generally dislike such discussions. However, although I have redbook covered pretty well, I've been buying more CD/SACD *hybrid discs and am curious about the SACD layers. For the purpose of this discussion "reasonably" priced would be up to $1200. Also prefer volume control because I don't use a pre-amp.
Thanks!
* Mostly because a lot of titles of interest to me are only available as hybrid discs.
