Looking for suggestions on a good SACD player or universal. I'd like it to be better for 2 channel than my Oppo bdp-103. I'm at about $400 but would go higher for the right one if it's a universal and I could sell the Oppo to help facilitate.

    You might find a used Marantz SA8004 in that price range.

    Steer away from the Denon's, many of the forum members (including myself with 2 of them) now have expensive doorstops.

    For that price range, I must agree with Jesse. Personally, I'd sell the Oppo and see what price range you are in at that point. That's just me though.

    I've had some good hits. Waiting on Dan but may consider a dedicated cd player, also

    I have quite a few Cambridge Audio components that may be what your looking for - the CXUHD 4K player - no analogue inputs but does both 2 channel and multi channel SACD via HDMI - if you want analogue inputs, then the 752BD will suit as it play SACD via HDMI or via 7.1 channel analogue inputs (Blu-Ray player that up specs to 4K video as well). This player also has a dedicated 2 channel analogue input for stereo as well (which I use for CD play back) as the 7.1 analogue inputs.

    Have that 851C as well, which is a dedicated CD player but doesn't play SACD.
