I bought the lower budget model 763SA with the same thought in mind; try out SACD with little risk. I used the player as a transport for redbook cds and the internal dac for SACD. SACDs were too limited so I only tried a few. While the transport was fine with SACD, it very noisy (whirring sounds)when playing redbook cds. The noise was noticeable from the listening position until music started so I scrapped the idea. The player is now being used as a dvd player by my daughter at school.
Needless to say my trial with SACD was short lived. Maybe I should've bought a better player to experiment with SACD but with limited titles I don't really regret it. Good luck.
