CD/SACD player Under $4000

Sorry, I’ve never experienced an audio device, except speakers, that I’ve paid over $3k for. Best of luck in your search!

For us cheap bastards, can anyone suggest a great used SACD player under $1000?

thx

@andym23456 Find a Marantz SA8005.

Great internal DAC for Redbook CDs and great sounding SACD playback. 

I really enjoy the Marantz SACD 30n CD/SACD Player

Just under your budget # $3500US

Great feature set with Roon/Heos streaming.

It utilizes a proprietary Marantz Musical Mastering (MMM) stream conversion system instead of a traditional DAC chip, which upscales and converts all incoming PCM signals to DSD.

Also has a Marantz HDAM output module.

"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."

Yeah, and manufacturers of tube equipment are going to send along replacement tubes too!

@faustuss If the consumer would pay for it, they would include a gross of new tubes. Companies should, at least, include an order form in the box so you can order a spare drive if you choose. In a quality player, it's the only part that wears out. Of course, the greedy would rather you bought a new player when the old one no longer works.
