Meitner SACD1000 owners....


Should I avoid purchasing one of these units used or with the identified fixes in place, is it operating fine? I'm looking for a reasonably priced transport that allows my DAC to operate as the master clock (via BNC connection). I also like the fact that this unit has balanced digital out - a noce fit with my pro DAC.

The Meitner SACD 1000 lines up nicely with my requirements but I do not want to get one if it is going to plauged with problems. Please advise and thanks in advance for your feedback.

I have a Philips SACD-1000 with the emmLabs module installed by emmLabs. The module is perfect but the SACD-1000 failed. As Lazarus28 suggests, you could have Alex Paychev install the emmLabs module in the Denon 3910 and retain all the functionality of the Meitnerized SACD-1000 but without all the failure problems of the SACD-1000.
The emmLabs module listed at $1500 installed in the owner's player.
I'll sell my SACD-1000 with the installed emmLabs module as is for $550 including shipping in the US.
