Philips SACD 1000 or 962.


I’m thinking to buy one of these players. Does anyone own or has experience with them? It will be used for 80% music- 20 HT. Or should I buy dedicated CD player and get over with cheap DVD player?
Any input will be appreciated.

I have the SACD 1000 and am happy with it in terms of sonics, but be aware that some examples of this cdp/transport are apparently noisy and rough in operation. Mine is starting to sound pretty bad with certain redbook discs.
My other player is an AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000, and the SACD 1000 has a similarly prominent midrange but is much more refined with less grain. The Ah! is more forward in the upper mids.
