Looking For New CD-SACD Player

my search led me to this happy ending

prices have been going up, this one seems like a good deal

The guy asked about a cd/sacd player dedicated for 2 channel and as usual, half the responses are " stream, rip, outboard dac... "  Nice when the OP gets answered

Very happy with my Luxman

I bought my 105 specifically to play SACDs via XLRs to my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 (built in dac) + PS 5 power supply and Pangea Premier XL coax to my DDP-1. I did not find the 105 a good transport, so I bought a Marantz HD CD-1 to use as a transport to play CDs. It was a huge step up, but it died. I decided to go with a dedicated transport and got a great deal on a slightly used Audiolab 6000 CDT. So everything was the same, but the CDT was light years better than either the 105 or HD CD -1 as transports. From my experience, players used as transports just don't cut it

Marantz or Luxman, they each have a less and more expensive model that fit the bill.
