Since you do like classical music I would say go for a modified Sony, Marantz, or Denon, SACD player from one of the reputable Modders (Underwood, Modwright, RAM, etc.) I say this because if you are a classical lover the RCA Living Stereo and Mercury Presence SACD collections (50-60 discs and counting) are worth the investment in SACD alone. And since you are going with a modded player the redbook CD will sound excellent too. There is lots of great classical music in SACD and there seems to be more coming out.
New cd player-- or should I get SACD?
My family has large CD collection and old Sony cd changer. We agree it sounds digital.
Looking for new digital medium player for my room. There are 1000s of recommendations on Audiogon, I can't listen/try all.
Analog sounding (non-digital) for classical music (non-opera).
Should I get SACD player? Budget is $2000 for digital player.
My question is, is it worth it to search for a cd player, or should I skip to SACD? Some said SACD players don't do redbook well. Should I get separate CD and SACD players, or are there units which do both well? I am interested in playing both.
