Best SACD player under $1500?


I was looking at the Music Hall Maverick since I don't need multichannel, but I heard so many complaints about quality control that I've just about ruled it out.

I like the idea of going with a smaller company (instead of Denon, Marantz, Sony, Yamaha, etc.) but I can't spend megabucks.

Modest system will be built around Soliloquy 5.3s and an integrated amp to be purchased in the near future.

Any suggestions?

the marantz is decent- slightly laid back sound and just okay in the bass..but extremely musical (redbook is pretty good too)

the only drawback to most players is the quality control..my first marantz 8260 was replaced by my dealer after many times..

considering whether the format will be supported is a big deal..
A used Sony SCD-777ES. Decent sound, best transport mechanism, easy to mod for better performance when you have the cash for that. The best Marantz models may sound better, but are out of the price range you're talking about.
I TOTALY AGREE WITH Rcprince FOR EXACTLY THE SAME REASONS.A USED SCD-777ESWILL BE THE BEST FOR MONEY AND CAN BE MODDED TO STATE OF THE ART. SKIP
