Best SACD Player Help Needed


I'm interested in purchasing a SACD player and would like opinions on the format as I understand that it is fading. I have a Onkyo CD changer and would like assistance with the forthcoming upgrade. I have Martin Logan SL3s. What should I expect in regards to sound quality with SACD and with an upgrade in CD player? How will my current standard cds sound? Any advice, Suggestions, or website references will be appreciated.

I agree with the others who suggest buying a cheaper used unit. Denon 2200, 2900, 3910, or 3930 can all be found for around or under $200. The 3910 was originally about $1500, is pretty good stock, and is a favorite of the modding community. I believe there are still a few companies offering upgrades for it, so it could be your intro to SACD AND your upgrade.

A little pricier and not universal, but the Sony C555es is an excellent sounding SACD/CD 5 disc carousel. It can still be found fairly cheap.
