CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help.

I'm fairly new to this insanity so please talk slowly. Haha.

My system is-  Bel Canto Pre2
                        Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps
                        Exogal Comet with Power supply
                        Arcam FMJ CD 23
                        Panamax 5500 regenerator
                        Usher 8571 Diamond speakers


   This is a 2 channel music only system. I am happy with the Arcam cd player but i would like to play SACD also. If I change players i would probably want a substantial upgrade but i'd rather not put a dollar amount to it. I have a good DAC so what direction should i go in?  Help please. Mike Houstina

Since I listen to mostly regular Cds and files I decided to just live without SACD. I don't have unlimited funds so I'll spend that money elsewhere.

Audioman, I recently purchased a Marantz SA-11s1 sacd player, which is an older model,to replace my Cambridge Audio CD player.This was the best improvement I've made in my system. All the cd's I have played sound much better and the first sacd I purchased (Roger Waters) is just amazing. Again, this player has been the best purchase for  sound quality that I have made. Hope this helps.

Audioman, I share your pain, which was why I started a thread about the Bryston 3 DAC .  Now that I have significantly upgraded my DAC
(Mytec Manhatten) and my red book playback via FireWire , my Oppo 105 is looking like an aging beauty queen for SACD.
