Suggestions for a new SACD player.


My much loved Musical Fidelity Tri Vista SACD player died. I am looking to perhaps purchase a replacement. It must have a digital input. Balanced output preferred but it is not a deal killer. I may give up on SACD, but would rather not. Must be dependable. $3500 max. Used is okay. Your suggestions appreciated. Reasons for your suggestions appreciated too.
Thanks-

The Playback Designs MPS-5 has digital input in three formats. You're able to use its exceptional DAC/clock to bring almost any digital output up to the level of it's performance. For example, using the Wadia 170i to pull the digital output from my 160G iPod and input the digital signal into the PD. The resulting playback cannot be distinquished from the original.

Of course SACD performance, is excellent and you'll want to keep collecting SACDs, but the RBCD performance is stunning.
