Recommend a Pre/Pro for $250?


I need a preamp/processor that can accept SACD DSD over HDMI, with the best audio performance I can get for $250.  I might be able to go to $300 including shipping.  Obviously I'm looking in the used market.  I'm running a 2.2 channel setup, and I don't anticipate ever needing more than 5.2, so older gear could make the cut.  Current system is in my profile.  I plan to upgrade my DVD player to a universal BluRay player. I want better analog audio out than the affordable universal BD players can provide, so I'm going to treat the player as a transport, and invest in a quality pre/pro.  One with a nice phono section would be preferred.
Anybody care to point me in the right direction?

I will add something here, My friend owns a Vintage Audio shop he's been in business for almost 40 years so knows his stuff, he wont very often touch older HT receivers as they tend to break easily, lost remotes make them unusable, old tech that's so out dated 5 years later that it wont support current standards, etc.  

I would honestly suggest you go mid-fi  receiver in that budget range. many to chose from like the ones I googled below from Best Buy. 

Yamaha RX-V385 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver.
Onkyo TX-SR393 5.2 Channel 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver.
Sony STR-DH590 5.2 Channel 4K Ultra HD Home Theatre AV Receiver.

I feel they will give you the bulk of what your looking for, have all the remotes etc. working, has a warranty and less then $300.  That will open up the door so to speak and let you enjoy until you feel like upgrading down the road.

auxinput,
Your suggestion of the Onkyo Professional PR-SC885 is most in line with what I'm looking for, which is high-end audiophile stuff that has depreciated enough for me.
More suggestions like that would help.  Thanks!
That PR-SC885 from audiogon is no longer available.  There's these on usaudiomart:

Onkyo Professional PR-SC885 - $400
Onkyo PR-SC5508 (modified/upgraded) - $350
Rotel RSP-1069 - $325

That's really it right now.
