Is there something like that which is both affordable and
has full SACD and DVD-A specs?

Thanks

I have the previous version, the DVD89 Cambridge universal and it is
indeed an excellent universal machine .. and I bought mine for less
than $200 here in Australia as a run-out special. Only one slight
quibble ... it can start playing the first track of a CD about half a
second after the track's actual beginning. I get around this by
immediately hitting the 'back one track' button on the remote and that
usually gives a clean start.

It's not exactly high end but I have a Pioneer DV-588A-s. It plays CDs,
DVDs, and SACDs. The construction is not very rugged leading me to use
the remote instead of the controls on the unit. It works perfectly and
was not expensive (less than $150 if I remember correctly).

I've just recently purchased what is probably the best Blu ray player
available for under a couple of thousand dollars -- the Oppo BDP-83.
Of relevance here is that it also plays SACDs and DVD-Audios alongside
CDs, and the sound quality is excellent. For a bit more there is also
available a Special Edition which gives enhanced audio performance.
Both the normal and the SE feature a bypass circuit so that the
machine processes audio only and excludes the video processing
hardware.
Its Blu ray region is of course Region A (USA) but I bought from
Denmark a neat hardware conversion kit which turned it into a true
multi-region player for both blu ray and DVDs, for use here in Region
2 (Australia)
