You might want to consider the Marantz SACD/CD players. They have 2 or 3 players within your budget. The SA11 being at the top end around $4000, the SA15 at around 2500 and the SA8005 at around 1200.
Looking at a new non-SACD player, but still own lots of SACDs
I am looking at upgrading my current CD player, my budget is $3K ish, certainly below $5K. The two units I am looking at in the $3K range, Moon Simaudio 260 and Rega Saturn R, do not play SACDs. Rather than give up my SACD collection, I wonder if anyone has any experience with a work around.
The one thought that occurs to me is to find a modest priced SACD player (used) with a digital/optical out as a transport only and run it into the DAC of the new unit. Will this work or is the SACD circuity in the DAC and not the transport/laser?
Are any other options?
Or should I be looking at a different new CD player that plays SACDs?
