Buy a Marantz SA-1 player, if you can find one. Great sound , built like a tank, and sets the standard. If a hi-end American company copied this piece you are looking at a +$15K tag.
The sound is great on both CDs & SACD. The parts and dac are the best money can buy today, regardless what you read.
I should know because I had worked in the studio (now retired) as a recording engineer for both Polygram & CBS Records for over 35 yrs. I've heard the best in all formats and the Marantz SA-1 palyer is a top piece of equipment.
