I agree with you Rsbeck. RedBook performance is VERY VERY GOOD. I have owned the XA777ES.
I'm currently considering getting the Consonance SACD 2.0 player which is based on the XA777ES transport and DACs. One should be able to purchase it for under $2300. 2.0 model is 2ch. The 1.0 is multichannel.
For a dealer....see www.audiolon.com. Player details can be had at http://www.operaudio.com/Html/Opera-Products-NEWPRODUCTS-CD.htm
