Beating a dead horse.... SACD

you said that you enjoyed the Sony S9000ES when you had it and you then say that you would like to find something under $500. there is one for sale right now for $250 , which is well under your budget.

why not get that ?

OP: based on what you have laid out so far, the choice of the SACD would not matter. Meaning it won’t impact anything. So pick the cheapest you can find. Good luck 

+1, @thyname said!

Seriously, why bother with choices given by @riley804. You might as well digitized all of your SACD’s. Unless you consider a player like this, you’re just filling an empty spot in your rack.

If you would like something new Sony still makes players that play sacd.

@lalitk 

the whole point of me mentioning the ones that I did was because the OP said that he didnt want to spend more than $500.....and he was already familiar with the Sony model.

the one you suggest is already over what the OP wants to spend and the bidding isnt over yet.
