Transports: Simaudio, Pro-ject, Jays

Its down to these 3 transports! Do all of these transports play CDR and Hybrid SACDs? The Simaudio doesn't state what it can play, the Jays makes a list but doesn't include Hybrid SACDs. It would be a huge disappointment if I found out later that it can't play CDR or the Hybrid SACD.

Also talked with a dealer who sells Simaudio and Pro-ject and he wanted to steer me away from the Pro-ject based on the quality of their electronics in general. He would take a return on the Simaudio but not the Pro-ject. Anyone have experience dealing with Pro-ject direct if there are issues?

I have a Simaudio Moon 260D and while it is not an SACD player it will play the standard red book CD layer on a Hybrid SACD. I only have a few Hybrid SACD's and they work fine.
I have also been able to play the CD-R’s that I have without any problem.
Also, I purchased mine with the onboard DAC and think it is a very nice sounding DAC. I am currently running my Bluesound Node 2i through the Moon DAC.
Connection from the Moon CD player to my preamp is with balanced interconnects.
