Itching for an SACD player

I presently own an Audio Aero Prima. I was good to go (and still may) this Spring with an APL Denon 3910, but the purchase of new speakers, cabling etc. may mean a hold on the APL. What is out there in the way of SACD/CD player that will sound significantly better than my Prima, and do SACDs? Mods and used are cool, as well. I just don't think I will be able to go for $6.5k for the APL, and with the way digital is going, the APL may be dated by the time I receive it. Not really, of course, but you get my drift? thanks in advance. peace, warren

I strongly recomend the DVP9000es Bon Modwright.
Actually I prefer this unit better than the APL
3910 which is almost twice the price even with
the upgrade of the APL.In the system I bought
heard the APL and the 9000es Modwright the APL
did not have weight,there was a tendency to have
thinner sounding.If you like full sounding and
naturality the 9000es is the way to go.In fact
the 9000es is even more musical in the set up
I bought heard them.Dan is a world class person
to deal with, He answer email very quick.I have
never look back since I got this 9000esModwright.
Email me if you have any more question.

marantz 8260 just listen it fun reasonable and if it quits down the road in a couple of years...throw it away and you'll be ready for a change anyway

How about the Cary 306 SACD? Haven't heard it myself, but its developing a pretty good buzz about both its redbook and SACD playback.

Although you may be itching for SACD, you also may be right in thinking there won't be much out there to scratch, and for me that would be a limiting factor.

All I can ask is "why". SACD is so dead. However, if u do have a need to distribute your wealth, I can supply u with an easy "drop-off" point.
