CD/SACD player Under $4000

Looking for a new player. My Sony XA5400 won't play sacd's. Tried a new laser assembly but still won't play sacd's. Like to find something at least as good as the Sony. Does not need to be a network player. Open for suggestions!

@yyzsantabarbara agreed. the MA3i was definitely a nice upgrade over the Bricasti M3 in my system.

I only have a dozen SACD’s, so I ripped the DSD layer. I went online and found one of a bunch of players and a small open source program. The player was cheap and the software was free.

Just a thought.

What is the problem with companies that make LASER based players? If it is known that the LASER has a finite lifespan (say, 10 years), why don't they include a replacement or two in the box? This is such an easily fixable problem for any thinking person.

I understand the Denon DCD-3000NE is supposed to be good.  I don't have any knowldge of it's performance other than favorable reviews.  Just one to check out.

Happy hunting!
