Have you considered a Sony SCD-1 SACD/cd player? It too has been out for 5 years, but worth every penny.

Need CDP opinions please
I guess you could say my first love is Vinyl as i have so many records and although i have never heard a really great CDP in my system (currently own a Philips SACD 1000),my fellow audiophile friend has loaned me his Wadia 860 to audition for a week...i just did not realize how good digital is....my question is that the Wadia has been out for almost 5 years now....are there any players that perform as well as the Wadia in the $2000.00 used range? Thankyou all for your help!

I had my SACD 1000 modified by Dan Wright. The signature mod with tube output stage was around $1250. http://www.modwright.com/whats_new/?story_id=17. Sounds better than my stock XA-777ES. |
For "slightly" over $2000, you could get a Resolution Audio Opus 21. It is a KILLER CD Player at its used price. It also has digital inputs, so you could attach another digital source if you wanted. Also, it has built-in volume control if you want to try it connected directly to an amp. The going rate for a nice used one is about $2300-2600. If you buy one, you will want to insure that it has the "newer" style transport as the original style was noisy. |
