I have seen a lot of Esoteric, Sony, Marantz CD/SACD players in the $2500-$5000 new advertised. Any thoughts on the best available for $2,000 used? Some of the Marantz models come to mind. Tube or ss.
You can get a used Esoteric DV-50s for -2000. That would be a big bang for the buck. I had that UDP for over a year and just loved it! Now I moved up the ladder to the Esoteric X-03SE.
According to limited number of reviews, it does look like Sony XA-5400ES may be the holy grail of moderately priced SACD player. They are sold out in many online retailers. I have one on order, and probably receive it in a week or so. I'll find out how it fares against my Unidisk.
