SACD player


I really hate to start a thread like this but I've been looking for a new SACD player for a couple of weeks now and am getting nowhere. I can't even settle on a brand.

What I'm looking for is the highest quality SACD player I can get for around 2,000.00. I will use it for 2 channel only. I would just like to hear some unbiased opinions before making my final decision.

My current system is Vandersteen Model 3 speakers, McIntosh MC2200 Amp, Marantz SC-11S1 Preamp. Currently using a Pioneer Elite PD-D6-J and it's starting to have some issues. Would like to replace it before it completely craps out.

I have no problem buying used if it's a quality piece.

Thank you in advance for any constructive replies.

The switch on the back of the Sony only sets the preferred layer it plays with a hybrid disk. If you put SACD only disk in it plays SACD, if you put a CD only disk in it plays CD. No need to set the switch on the back dependent on the type of disk you put in.

Mystang, if your Sony 5400 is working otherwise there is something else going on.
