Marantz SA10 sacd player

However, the reason for having the player is generally to play sacd discs.

Yes, @sharri  , the reason I bought it was to hear the full sonic attributes of SACD and to also play my red book discs.  You are right--if I did not want to play SACD I would not have bought it.

Immatthew it’s worth buying traverse optic lens back up , the SA 10 is good on red book, it’s an amazing sacd player.Encompass has them.

@jayctoy  , I just got through going to that lin@sharri  provided and ordering the assembly from encompass.  Hopefully I will never need it, but it is kind of like insurance, I guess, that if I can find someone to install it, at least I will have the part.  Thanks @sharri and @jayctoy  .

Good choice Matthew SA 10 without sacd it is tough to swallow.Though the redbook is excellent.TVAD I brought my SA10 to stereo rehab today. Casper explain to me what need to be changed.He is legit. Charging me between $230 to $250. Very fair.

My SA 10 lens is beginning not to recognize redbook. So I knew I have to drop it today . I brought the parts I bought from Encompass.
