Aaaugh Please recommend a DVD player


Feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Time to upgrade my year 2000 Panasonic DVD-RV31 and I know very little about DVD players. Now that I am looking, I feel even more lost with all the brands and models out now.
Why upgrade? The Panasonic is pretty weak when playing music. Hardly any bass and it has a very closed in sound.

This is what I am looking for…
Under 500.00 used
I would like for to include SACD
Not sure if this is standard still but I want both analog and digital connections.
75% music 25% Movies

Thanks in advance all you audiophile junkies

The remote on the 963SA is a bit funky. You have to aim it directly at the unit and press the buttons rather hard etc.. no real tactile feedback. I prefer Sony remotes myself. However, as a transport it is showing real promise. Even without Superclock2, it has very low jitter and the fastest risetime I have ever seen in a transport, at least after the digital mods. The stock performance of the analog outs is a bit tinny and confused, typical of stock components.
I have philips 963 purchased for 236.00$ from One call.The video is fine.The audio is O>K
I wish to get it modified.
Budget not more than 350 $. Who moadifies them?
Any easy to do mods with out soldering?(power cords damping etc.
thanks for any suggestions
