best SACD player

Yamaha. It will last forever. 

@gregdude what do you mean last forever??????? never brokwn????????

The Technics SL-G700 is a fine player that also has streaming capability. Its build quality is among the best I've seen. There is a newer M2 generation recently introduced that has replaced the former AKM converters with ESS converters - possibly on account of supply issues in the wake of the AKM factory fire. I haven't heard the new model but reviews suggest it is as good or better than it's predecessor.

I have owned, in order, a Marantz SA-8004, a Denon DCD-A100, a Denon DCD 1600NE, and currently a Denon DCD-A110. Each has been a noticeable improvement over its predecessor. The DCD-A110 was the largest step up. What Denon calls AL32 Processing has improved the playback of redbook CDs so much that it takes away some (but not all) of the reasons to buy SACD's.

Esoteric hands down however in your price range a used one. +1 @stereo5
