Hey gang. Once I upgrade my turntable/speakers, I will turn my attention to digital. My main system will become all analog, and I will move the digital to the H/T room. That said I am starting to research SACD/High Rez capable players.

Firstly I would like to know which players you guys are using, and which players you've had in the past. Please include some thoughts on each, especially price/performance value.

Of course, bigger is better and I have no budget set as of yet, but which players rule their respective price points? Can the "cheaper" players roll with the big boys, or is the gap really big?

Looking forward to your info. Keep in mind I'm just gathering info here for research. I won't have a budget for this for at least a year or two. By then SACD will probably be obsolete and it will be SDACD. That's Super Duper Audio CD BTW...

I was offered a Pioneer DV-578 for a decent price, but I declined. I want to jump in with both feet. Aside from the SACD player, I will be considering an upgrade to my trusty Sony AV receiver as well. I'm thinking Denon since it's served my father in law so well. I just hate Denon's overly complicated panels.

Anyhow, thanks all...
