    Samsung, Toshiba and others all make models for around $200.

    Of course, SACD and DVD-A don't support toslink connections.

    skip the SACD/DVD-A requirement for your price range. the best deal for the money is the Cambridge Audio D500 SE CD player with a 24 bit DAC and jitter reduction circuitry. its a demo unit on clearance from Audio advisor.thanks....WCW III

    In that price range, if you want SACD and DVD-A that has good audio, you will need to go used from Ebay or Audiogon to get anything of decent sound quality. Keep your eye open for a Yamaha DVD-s2300 (or the MKII version, its the same basically). They seem to sell for around $300 but they don't come up very often. A Denon DVD-2200 might do ok, but the 2900 has much better build quality and sound, but of course the 2900 goes for higher, closer to $400.

    If you are looking for a DVDA/SACD changer, I found the Onkyo DVCP-802 for $279.99 on ecost.com. It's not on there right now, but I have seen it back on there frequently. Normal cost on it is about $600. So it's a pretty good deal.

    folks here have said the cambridge audio 540d comes pretty close to the music performance of their c.a. cd players. it does dvd-a, but not sacd. the audio advisor demo price is in your range. i bought it new at the same price locally.

    Problem is the market changes from month to month. If you make up your mind on one product now, in a couple months, it may not be the best choice anymore. The prices may rise or fall or there may be a better option (closeout deals, etc.) Wait till you are ready to buy, then make then make a decision and go with it.
