SACD drive sources


With the passing of Oppo, it seems that the manufacture of SACD drives is disappearing. PS Audio has discontinued their current transport and the new transport this fall won’t support SACD (their drive was from Oppo. As someone who has a large SACD library I am concerned about the future of this format.

Other than Marantz and Esoteric, is there anyone currently building SACD drives? Also, they do not output DSD over HDMI.

Sony appears to be out. Pioneer and Yamaha still have machines with HDMI output for DSD. But who makes their drives? 

Any way to know where drives are sourced from?

I knew that I was forgetting Accuphase and Luxman.  Although, I do not know if those guys builds their drive/transport(s)  from the ground up?

Happy Listening!
Arcam is still making their SACD player (dubbed CDS50) but I don’t know where they source their drives.
At some point, you may want to make DSD file copies of your SACDs. It should prolong the life of your SACD transport which you may use less then.
