best SACD player

I would go with a second hand Esoteric SACD player at your price range. 

I can’t remember the brand or model of the CD/SACD player that went belly-up two days after the warranty expired (was it a Marantz?), but the Sony XA 5400ES I replaced it with has been nothing but excellent. It may not give me be quite as high a fi as my Hi Rez Streaming or my analog rig but it still delivers plenty of enjoyment. I listen to it all the time...not the least because I have a heck of a lot of silver discs.

Marantz KI Ruby if you can find one.  

Yamaha. It will last forever. 

@gregdude what do you mean last forever??????? never brokwn????????
