Aaaugh Please recommend a DVD player

Feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Time to upgrade my year 2000 Panasonic DVD-RV31 and I know very little about DVD players. Now that I am looking, I feel even more lost with all the brands and models out now.
Why upgrade? The Panasonic is pretty weak when playing music. Hardly any bass and it has a very closed in sound.

This is what I am looking for…
Under 500.00 used
I would like for to include SACD
Not sure if this is standard still but I want both analog and digital connections.
75% music 25% Movies

Thanks in advance all you audiophile junkies

See if you can find a used Marantz DV8300, Denon DV2200 sells for about 600 new. Maybe a Pioneer 545 or a used 47ai
in your price range. All good peices at the $

Pioneer DV47 or Denon 2900 used. I have one of each and each has pros and cons. The pioneer has the chroma upsampling error so is not ideal for video. Both are rather uninvolving when it comes to SACD if left stock...but modified they are both great sounding players.

Denon 2200. It plays everything and is perhaps superior to the 2900. There is a used one listed for $450 today on A'gon. Also, if you want to go hard core, you can always send it out to be modded by someone like underwood.
