Try the Sony SACD players, the Panasonic "Remastering" DVD-A players, or

The current model seems to be:
Pioneer DV-578A Universal DVD/CD/SACD/DVD-Audio player

The DV-578A seems to be very different than the DV-563A, which is still
available in the US from a lot of places.

The DV-578A apparently converts SACD DSD to 88.2KHz PCM at all times.
See this thread:

People have picked up the DV-563A on close-out from Circuit City for $70.


Price: $149.99

The DV-578A is not yet mentioned in the Pioneer web page:

except in a press release:

The European model (DV-575A) seems to be priced at 249 euros, which
is about $300 (double!)
