hi all,
Q: given a budget of ~$1000 and listening style of mainly using headphones
(HD580) and jazz/acustic/vocal recordings what would be your pick for a SACD
player (I do not have a standalone headphone amp so the player should have
enogh power to drive ~300Ohm) ?
The second option is a CD player with upsampling circuitry. Third option
(same price range) is a CD player.
All web links are appreciated.

thanks for discussion,
dubi

Noting the slow-moving pile of $129 SACD players at the local Circuit City,
I'd recommend one of the low-cost universal SACD/DVD players, because that
way it won't be too much of a loss when one or both of these formats is
pulled.
