Which of these SACD players would you choose?

My experience with a used Pioneer Elite DVD player (model DV-47A) was exceptional. It was used extensively & abused by my wife and kids in a family room setting for approx. 6 years before it finally crapped out. However, the Oppo I purchased new had very poor build quality and was returned within a few days of purchase due to several malfunctions. I don't understand the buzz about Oppo.

None, a $60 sony 595 at sonystyle will give you just as good sound.

I respectfully disagree with Buconero. I bought a 595. Great price. Great service. Dull sounding. Instruments seemed mashed together. Sony was kind enough to take it back without question and paid shipping both ways. It might work for spmeone else but not for me. It's interesting about Pdreher's experience with Oppo quality. I haven't heard of anyone else who has problems. My BD-80 has worked flawlessly. The sound through the analog outputs is good but not great. I use it as a transport to a DAC. I hope the Elite works out for you. Happy listening!

I agree..Oppo is junk and Buconero117 is a fool

No. Buconero is not a fool and I take offense at the post. Not everything works for everybody. This is a site where all opinions are welcome. For $60, some may find it a diamond in the rough. For others with the funds, it is not sufficient. Please be more kind. Oppo is not junk. I have owned 4 units and all have worked flawlessly and have met my expectations.
