I can only talk about what I have owned
long story short, to get the best for less, I went vintage Sony xa5400ES
I am ridiculously happy I found it.
I went down the 'better cd player' road, then 'i've got a few SACD's', then oh, most players convert SACD DSD to PCM, that's not great, which one's don't?
to get both a great player that plays both CD and SACD, does not convert dsd to pcm, separate lasers for CD and SACD, upscales CDs 8X, 6 dacs .....
I asked advice here
prior search, asked for advice here
they pop up on hifishark frequently.
just listed, I'd make an offer pronto
others, and belts and lasers are readily available in the future if needed
