SACD Multichannel player - $400 budget

I would avoid most used SACD players, especially SONY. YMMV.

??? I still have the XA777ES and an XA9000ES in perfect function and commend them. (OTOH, my Philips SACD1000 is still working well, too, do not recommend it.)

Another consideration is if Kira's HT system has HDMI input. If so, consider the Pioneer DV-58AV.

I'd consider the Oppo BDP-83 ($499 new). I have the DV-980H ($167), and am very happy with it. When I upgrade, I'll get a BDP-83. Good luck on your quest!

The Oppo is the one to get if you haven't already added Blu-ray to the mix...pun intended.

Now that Oppo has stopped making Universal Multi-Channel SACD players, are there hopefully new companies prepared to take over and produce new superior multi-channel SACD/BluRay players at similarly reasonable costs? - because 2-channel SACD players are sonically crippled & insufficient for complete TV & Music multi-speaker home set-ups?
