Drubin is absolutely right. A redbook-only player won't play single-layer SACDs, only hybrid discs (which contain a CD layer). Fortunately for you, most SACDs currently being manufactured are of the hybrid variety, so you can use those on a redbook player. But if you want to reap the benefits of SACD, you need an SACD player. If you're not looking for SOTA performance, there are many very affordable units out there that offer quite good value for the dollar.
