Recommendations for CD players to play SACDs
I have a Consonance Droplet Cd player that does a great job on redbook but doesn't play SACDs. Any recommendation for a CD player that is especially good on SACDs? On my short list: Marantz 8260; Music Hall Maverick; Sony 222, 333, 555 or DVP 9000ES. I'm currently using a Sony DVP NS900V to play SACDs. Are you familiar with any of the players mentioned above? Would they make an improvement on my Sony? The rest of the system is Audible Illusions, Bryston 4BSST, Von Schweikert VR5. Thank you for suggestions.
