Best affordable SACD player that does superb CD's

Recommendations based on observations I made at the dealer's, I do not own any of these machines myself.

Would Marantz SA 15 S1 (2 ch SACD + CD) fit your budget? Otherwise at around half the price of the SA 15: Marantz SA 7001 (also 2 ch SACD + CD).

And if your reference to dvd is to be taken as a hint you want the Full Monty: Arcam DV 137 (multi-ch SACD, CD, DVD-A, DVD) which is in the price range of the Marantz DV 9600 mentioned above.

OK, a few considerations/recommendations from $99 retail to $1200 reatil. Does that help?
Thanks for the input, thus far.

That would rule out the Arcam multi-format, but also the Marantz SA 15 S1. Unless you'd go for a used machine. A quick check will tell you, one recently changed hands for USD 1k on Audiogon. And this side of the ocean, only today I saw a machine - not a year old - being auctioned for EUR 800. So, opportunities seem to present themselves regularly. Good luck!

Denon universal players...2910, 3910 etc.

I guess used pricing. I'd like to consider something that's cheap ($99-$350 range), something that's medium inexpensive ($350-$700), and then the higher end at $800-$1200 used). If new, that's OK too. Of course, really, I'd like to pay a hundred or two - lol!
