Since SACD is not reliant on the newest technology, 100 bit rate, you don't need the newest player. A used high end unit such as sony es, pioneer elite, oppo and more should sound as good as a newer unit by the same company. For 2 channel keep using your really nice DAC.
CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help.
I'm fairly new to this insanity so please talk slowly. Haha.
My system is- Bel Canto Pre2
Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps
Exogal Comet with Power supply
Arcam FMJ CD 23
Panamax 5500 regenerator
Usher 8571 Diamond speakers
This is a 2 channel music only system. I am happy with the Arcam cd player but i would like to play SACD also. If I change players i would probably want a substantial upgrade but i'd rather not put a dollar amount to it. I have a good DAC so what direction should i go in? Help please. Mike Houstina
