Best SACD player under $1500?


I was looking at the Music Hall Maverick since I don't need multichannel, but I heard so many complaints about quality control that I've just about ruled it out.

I like the idea of going with a smaller company (instead of Denon, Marantz, Sony, Yamaha, etc.) but I can't spend megabucks.

Modest system will be built around Soliloquy 5.3s and an integrated amp to be purchased in the near future.

Any suggestions?

the marantz is decent- slightly laid back sound and just okay in the bass..but extremely musical (redbook is pretty good too)

the only drawback to most players is the quality control..my first marantz 8260 was replaced by my dealer after many times..

considering whether the format will be supported is a big deal..
