Looking for SACD player

I chose the Luxman D-03 about 1yr ago Walt.

It's a very fine sounding cd player, I had looked at all the other smaller less high end brands and had to try out the Luxman. The look and feel of the chassis and display are something to behold. Way nicer than I expected! Sound is extremely pleasant and I owned a Ayre unit for decades 

Don’t buy used cd or sacd players because of lasers can burn easily.I own both Ruby and SA10 marantz .Excellent players. Esoteric SACd players are very good as well. 

I briefly owned the Marantz SA-10 and it wasn’t my cup of tea at all. can’t recommend it. I’d go with esoteric or luxman. 
 

I have always loved Esoteric players- they are pricey however, my budget I cannot buy new Esoteric but I’d sure take an open box or dealer demoed Luxman buy yea sale price $11k, I am like you I’d rather spin a CD or SACD they just sound better to my ears 

Op you can call Music direct you have 60 days to audition it. Don’t completely rely on our experience.We have have different taste and listening skill level. You see I love my SA 10 and audiophile1 did not synergize with his tea. I like esoteric but they are very expensive, repair is also not easy.No experience with luxman, I briefly stay on their room at axpona .
