i am also seeking an sacd player, in the same range as has been mentioned.
i note a number of suggestions. assuming each sounds different, the only way to decide, is to listen to each one. i would not purchase any of the players which have been recommended so far, as i have no way of predicting my preference for or against the player, without an in home audition.
i have already tried a marantz 11s2 and sold it, so i am leading towards an sacd player with a tube output.
the purpose of my comment is to relate, on a personal level, the unreliability of asking for advice. i have not done so, nor will i go that route.
i will endeavor to do my own research. at best, i can call modwright and ask about the voicing of the player. i doubt i have that option with respect to sony, yamaha and pioneer.
be careful when following advice.
