Depending on your budget the best SACD player below $10k is SCD-1 with audiocom-uk.com (In USA, Richard Kern, www.audiomod.com is their authorized installation agent), next is Marantz SA-1 and 3d, on my opinion, is Marantz Sa-14 stock or slightly modified by Richard Kern (capacitors upgrade only - I am not sure if this even void warranty). Sony 777es is simpler version of SCD-1. Finally, Sony 9000es where you can play DAD's but only modded (Kern, Stan Warren etc). There are plenty of choice for all budgets (for $300 you can have Sony 775!). You will be happy with whatever you will choose. Good luck. Simon
SACD PLAYERS
I NEED FEED BACK FROM THE GROUP ON SACD PLAYERS. WHICH MODELS SHOULD I CONSIDER FOR USE IN A TWO CHANNEL LESSING ROOM. I AM RUNNING A PAIR OF MARTIN LOGAN PRODIGY SPEAKERS WITH A MARK LEVINSON NO. 336 AMP AND A OLD AUDIO RESEARCH LS1 PREAMP. I AM THINKING OF UPGRADING MY CALIFORNIA AUDIO LABS ICON MKII CD PLAYER FOR A SACD PLAYER. NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS.
