I was going to say a used Denon DCD-2900 - again, a very solidly built, excellent player for around $400 used.
Inexpensive SACD and DVD-A two-channel player?
I'm interested in buying an inexpensive SACD and DVD-A player for two-channel audio playback only (no video). I'd like to try out these two formats in my reference two-channel system, but I'm not prepared to spend a lot of money for an "audiophile-grade" player to do this. For example, one audiophile friend recommended the Pioneer DV-563A player, another the Pioneer DV-588A-S player, both under $200. I'm ignorant in this area and would appreciate some discussion of the pros and cons and some advice. I'm interested only in two-channel SACD and DVD-A playback (I already have an excellent "audiophile-grade" CD player for redbook CD and HDCD.) Thanks.
