How about a Lexicon RT20? You can still buy new in the box units for under $1,200. Not bad for a player which sold for $5,000 when in production.

Will it play Blu-ray discs Miguel?

 

[mrarroyo]

No it will not play blu-ray.

Just looked up the Lexicon player. You're right Miguel, it's a steal at current
prices. If only I had the disposable funds...

I'd still go for an Oppo SACD player if I HAd to buy something now...but when
the new SACD/Blu-ray players were out I'd be all over them.

Anyway, the best of luck in your journey!!!!

Thanks and I am staying away from SACD and Balanced operations. It is just to expensive, besides I am very happy w/ my Meridian 506.20 and a Monarchy NM24 DAC.

For now.

Come to the dark side, young Paduan.

 

[mrarroyo]

Jimmy how are you doing? Yes I am looking at a different kind of dark side, a Red Wine Audio Isabellina DAC.

 

[jpelg]

Look at riceboy's Exemplar-modded Denon instead, if it's not sold already.

 

[mrarroyo]

Yes I have seen it and I am tempted, however I will be needing a transportable dac/amp in the near future for a laptop. I am also considering the Lavry DA11 and Grace M902.

You may try the new Esoteric SA-50 SACDP which not only plays SACDs but also has digital inputs accepting 24/192kHz audio, so you can play any hi-rez files from your music server on the same sacd player, it's more future proof solution than a legacy 16bit player, and it's in your price range

puresuperaudio.blogspot.com: New high definition pure audio players from Japanese audio giants, Luxman and Esoteric...

 

[audioholik]

BTW digital inputs capable of 24bit/176,4kHz and 24bit/192kHz

are optical and coaxial one ,the usb input accepts only 16/44 (so usb input is only cd quality

) but it shouldn't be a big problem to find a PC/sound card with digital coaxial and optical outs and setup hi-res connection for studio master flac files playback...

OK, si there any Bluray Player that is also supports SACD player ?

 

[brink]

Yes. Oppo's players, for instance.

Pioneer has a couple of new models coming out soon in the UK, UDP LX500/800; maybe they’ll be available in other countries.
