The Marantz SA11-S3 is a very fine unit and has become my personal reference source. In another system I have a vintage Enlightened Audio Designs (EAD) Ultradisc 2000 which in combination with Jeff Rowland equipment is intoxicatingly beautiful. I feel that system synergy and intelligent tweaking is essential; so it's tough to nail down a particular unit as being 'the best'. Nevertheless, much of the charm of this hobby is in the quest. Best of luck!
Best SACD/CD player
I know I'm old school, but at this late date, December 2015, what's the best spinner that will do both CD and SACD, under $10k
Short list so far is Exoteric K-05X, Marantz SA11-S3 and I don't know what else.
