My opinion is that ARC CD3MkII in your case is a good fit with all the ARC gear you're using. Very good player that plays any type of music very well. Reads CD-Rs without any problems. Run CD3MkII into your LS-25 balanced and you will be very happy.

My Sony SCD-1 is now approaching age 5 and has taken a bit of a beating through multiple relocations during its time with me. It seems like it it might be time for a replacement. I have so few SACDs that this feature is not important - although I wouldn't object to SACD capability. There are so many new choices out there that researching possibilities seems a daunting task. Hence, recommendations on where to start would be much appreciated.
This unit will go into the following system:
