Who make SACD machine today?

YANOMAMI: If you are looking for a superb not only sacd machine, but also progressive scan dvd machine, you will be overwhelmed with the sony dvp-s9000es which only retails for $1500.00 . I did alot of research before bying one and I am glad I did. Two superb machines in one for a steal of a price. An extra also, it looks really cool too. Good Luck.

Ditto on the 9000 but i would rate it high fi not mid fi as i had it and the 777 in my home for audition and the 9000 has better midrange resolution and bass.

I own the Marantz SA-1, and I've heard all of them...if resolution and transparency are what youre looking for it's the by far the best...including the Accuphase (now why would you hook up two $14K components with a piece of telephone wire - the RJ45 connection? - baffling). Only okay with CDs though...it's bitstream conversion...if you want the best of both worlds you need 2 machines. Don't dump your Proceed just yet...

Thanks!

You guys have learn me alot. I will keep my Proceed and look for a second machine (SACD). A sony dvp-s9000es I suppose.
Thanks again

I also recommend the S9000ES if you plan to keep a stereo system even if you never use the DVD feature. It would also give you the option of buying Chesky and Classic DADs--stereo audio recorded at 96/24.

If you plan to go multichannel someday, buy the Sony SCD-555ES.
