Cheap SACD Player?

Hello Everyone,
There are several CD's that my wife wants which are available in non-hybrid SACD, so they will not play in my red book CD player. I plan on purchaseing a high end SACD system in approximately a year, but she wants these disks now. I do not wish to purchase any more red book CD's that are now available in SACD. As a result, I am looking for recommendations for cheap SACD players that will have acceptable sound, until I can purchase a higher end SACD player. Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Dennis

I wouldn't waste your time with Sony C333ES - go with an XA777ES or above if you can - they are very reasonable in price used and sound terrific.

All the new DSD recordings sound great. Some of the old remasters aren't worth it as they sound about as good as Redbook, but SACD is superior to Redbook. The only ones that debate this are the ones that don't want to get into it and try to justify it by making themselves believe it's not better - Judge for yourself.
