Looking for an inexpensive (read: < $300, preferably less!) with a headphone jack...I was going to get one of those Philips 763's for $89 bucks at buy, but relaized it doesn't seem to have a jack?

Thanks for any advice!

I did a bit of search on the 763. I think there is some quality control issues with Philips.

If you're going to listen to SACD - you will lose all of the benefits by listening through the built-in jack of any sacd player (at least any in your remote price range).

You'd probably be better off without the built-in headphone jack, anyway. An inexpensive headphone amp hooked to the SACD player would probably sound loads better at a negligible extra cost.

I think that the least expensive SACD player with a decent headphone jack built-in is the Marantz 8260. I believe it puts out something like 40mW per channel @32ohms, compared to 5 or 10mW for those that may even have such a jack. But that player will set you back a grand or so for new. If you have efficient cans, and want a quality player, it might be a way to go. Otherwise, what the others have said is true.

Fair enough...can anyone recommend a player and an amp? My budget is tiny, but I have a small collection of SACD's that I acquired when I used to have a Sony 333es. Maybe I should just sell them?
