Looking for SACD player............


I’m replacing my Marantz SA8100. Looking at new Marantz SA8500. Anything else new or used  in that price range I should be looking at? Thanks.

I used to have  Sony 9000es modwright it's now under repair, the laser gave up, ten years ago it's one of the best SACD DVD player, but technology is now different, better and cheaper, I bought the Yamaha s1000 SACD, and the marantz SACD 8005, I used my marantz to my other system, the Yamaha right now is on my main system, to tell you the truth both of this player are very very good, either one you can't go wrong, for me I don't have any preference they are both neutral, powerfully musical, smooth, well made, I like Dan Wright (modwright) I don't have any desire to modify any of this players, even if there is any available modder, they are that good.i will never buy Sony , no parts, no available service.
2 Channel the technology is so good. And it's cheaper, why go with the old tech,
You can't go wrong with Modwright make sure get a CD player with good laser, otherwise , you will loose a lot, My Sony is still under repair, read the post on the shootout we did , and let me know what you think?
