Multi channel SACD and DVD/A player under $2000


Looking to get recommendation on the best multi channel player in a reasonable budget. Redbook performance is not important as I have a pre/pro that handles redbook very well. Budget is flexible, but I'd like to keep it low as the future of SACD and DVD/A is still uncertain and I'm hesitant in investing too much yet. I currently have a Denon 3910 which does DVD/A fairly well, and SACD decently. I'd like the new player to sound significantly better in both, and it must have multi channel output.

Thanks,

I'll second the Oppo as a unit that's very good stock, but not up to the ultimate. You'll save $1800 on you budget.

If you want the last nth, then look into the newly released Pioneer 58AV, which is about $400 street in stock mode. Next consider having Ric Schultz hotrod it with a super clock and input/output upgrades:
