SACD player that will read the SACD layer


I have had poor luck with SACD/CD players that will default to the redbook layer and not read the SACD layer.

Please share with me any experience with a player that will nearly always read the SACD layer.

Thanks

I'll have to echo Kr4. I've owned Esoteric and dCS. Never had this issue..."

I would hope so, since those players cost more than some peoples cars.
If you are playing actual SACD disk's, you'll probably have to go with a 1 box player. There are very few separates, and all the ones I know of are very expensive. The Marantz SACD players are very popular in your price range. I have a Sony 9000ES. Its a decent player stock, but its a very popular player to mod. I know the Oppo is good, but if you just need to play CD/SACD, you'll end up paying for a lot of features you won't be using.
