Itching for an SACD player

I presently own an Audio Aero Prima. I was good to go (and still may) this Spring with an APL Denon 3910, but the purchase of new speakers, cabling etc. may mean a hold on the APL. What is out there in the way of SACD/CD player that will sound significantly better than my Prima, and do SACDs? Mods and used are cool, as well. I just don't think I will be able to go for $6.5k for the APL, and with the way digital is going, the APL may be dated by the time I receive it. Not really, of course, but you get my drift? thanks in advance. peace, warren

I strongly recomend the DVP9000es Bon Modwright.
Actually I prefer this unit better than the APL
3910 which is almost twice the price even with
the upgrade of the APL.In the system I bought
heard the APL and the 9000es Modwright the APL
did not have weight,there was a tendency to have
thinner sounding.If you like full sounding and
naturality the 9000es is the way to go.In fact
the 9000es is even more musical in the set up
I bought heard them.Dan is a world class person
to deal with, He answer email very quick.I have
never look back since I got this 9000esModwright.
Email me if you have any more question.

Warrenh the redbook is also very very good.I dont know
How Dan does it.But it amaze me How Dan can make the
redbook and SACD sound unbelievable.I am itching to hear
a Meitner CDP, to see how this Sony9000es can compete.

To my recollection the APL 3910 is way much better than
the Exemplar Denon 3910, its not even close.711 smillin
use to own exemplar.We did a shootout on this players.
WarrenH if you are are happy thats what counts, CONGRATULATIONS.
