Sacd player recommendation
I don't play any discs, using a TT, but was thinking of getting a player did very occasional use (living stereo classical discs). I am not sure if it makes sense as I don't want to spend much yet the rest of my gear is Shindo tubes.
Thoughts or any players that might make sense? I may abandon the idea though. |

Also I have the new wadia dac if that helps.

What's your budget?
If you're just using it for occasional SACD listening, an OPPO BDP-95 will work well. |

+2 OPPO BDP-95 under 1k nice all around unit does almost everything.

---+ 3, and it costs only $999. ...Peanuts! ...But acts like a $9,999 player!

Looks like that would be the one. Output to my wadia dac?
But...does it make sense to buy one for limited use - or pay the premium for lps? (for those RCA classical discs, 50 of them , and cheaper than vinyl but need to buy the player! |

Another vote for the Oppo. I would use the analog outs instead of an outboard DAC.

-----Only you, can answer that last question.
* Use the direct stereo analog out of the BDP-95 (that is its forte). |

The Oppo has a very nice Sabre chip in it so there's no need to run it through your Wadia. You could just buy a cheap transport to hook up to your Wadia. If you're only going to play CD's occasionally you might be better off putting the money into LP's.

Is there a transport that would make sense for the wadia 121? And do sacd?
Otherwise sounds like a consensus. |
