SACD players that will consistantly read the SACD layer of a hybrid disk?

If used, you want one lightly used, because the lasers do get progressively weak, then they start not finding the SACD layer.

I assume you have tried cd cleaners with little brushes that clean the laser. They have fixed a few of my friends players, one of mine in the past.

IF you have a player you really like the sound of:

Check on hifishark, your model(s). see if replacement head assemblies are readily available.

Most pc shops or small electronic shops can replace them.

Replacing just the laser, calibrating it, that’s tricky.

I replaced one myself, got it to read stnd layer, but could not get it calibrated to find and play the sacd layer.
