Looking for SACD player


I want to replace my Jay's Audio CDT2-MK2 with an SACD player that would be used as a player (with it's own DAC) for SACDs and as a transport to a Berkeley Alpha 3 DAC for regular CDs.  I have Prima Luna EVO 400 amp and preamp and Devore Gibbon X speakers.

I have been looking at the Luxman D-07X, but it's a little out of my preferred price range (up to $10K).  I have also listened to a Marantz 30N and while it sounded OK, it has a lot of extras (network, bluetooth, etc) that I don't need or want.

Please don't recommend that I switch to streaming.  I prefer physical media.

Thanks

I'd recommend Esoteric. The latest K-03 is a bit above the $10k but their transports are built like a tank, so used is probably OK.  You might even prefer the DAC in the K-03.

My 17 year old X-03 is still used daily by a friend of mine.

 

I suggest the Bricasti M19, especially if you have the M1 series II to go along with it.

Zapdady here,
May I suggest the McIntosh MCD600?
I purchased one for $4000.00 and love it every day.
A little scares, but worth the search.
Good luck on the adventure.
