SACD player w/digital inputs
So today I have a MCD500 and a W4S 10th DAC, I'm considering downsizing my digital setup. Both pieces are excellent so it's not a question of "upgrading" as much as it is consolidating. The problem being the MCD500 only has a coax and optical in, I want USB as well. I have to admit I regret not buying the MCD1100 that was in the market here a couple months ago. Are there any similar SACD players with flexible digital inputs? I don't want to spend a fortune and due to size I need something about the same height or smaller than a Mc CDP. Thanks for any suggestions. I suppose worst case scenario I'll keep the 500 and just downsize my DAC...or just hold out for an 1100.
Edit: I suppose I should add I'm not looking to break the bank with a $10k player, at that point I'd rather stick to what I've got now. |
Check out the Luxman D-10X and the Esoteric K-03XD (available in aluminum or black finish).

That Luxman looks right up my alley, but both of those are about $10k more than I want to spend.

You don’t really say what your price range is, but if the D-10x is about $10k more than you want to spend, it sounds like you’re looking in the $5k range, no? You might check the Marantz SA-10, and also the Esoteric K-05Xs and K-07Xs.

Yeah, $5kish is about my range, like I said in the first post I'm not looking for a $10k player. I'll check out the Marantz and those Esoteric players, thanks for the suggestions.

Marantz has 3 SACD players between $2600-$7000 MSRP that have USB B inputs. Two of them USB-A as well, I think.
Technics has the SL-G700 SACD player with a USB-A input but no USB-B for $3K MSRP |

And one of them is a streamer at the same time. Gets great reviews. It is the Marantz SACD 30n. |

Christian, you're absolutely right. I only considered the Marantz you posted. The Technics is another SACD player and streamer that got quite good reviews. |
Wow I'm liking that Marantz, especially considering I've been wanting to get a streamer like a Bluesound for playing FLACs and Internet radio. I've got some reading up to do, thanks! A Marantz was my first CD player way back in the early 90's when I was still in middle school. I'll save the embarrassment of telling everyone what my first CD was...
Edit: Yep, pretty sure that Marantz 30n is exactly what I need. |
