I pur a new Denon DCD-A110 SACD player couple of years ago. New was $3,500. It has no output for an external DAC and it is not surround , only 2 channel stereo which is what I like. I have a 9.2 channel surround set up for video but do not care for it with music. This Denon is a fine piece , weighs over 30 lbs. solid build , terrific soundstage , I expect it to last for a long time. Plays anything you throw at it and the redbook's sound good too. Noticed a few still around now that are discounted down $500 or so. Played thru a McIntosh MA 7900 and restored JBL's.I listen mostly to classic rock. To me the original single layer SACD discs are slightly better than the hybrid but hard to find and $$$$.
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
