I was looking at that one, and wondering if the distortion of this unit might be as bad, or worse, than the Marantz unit. It's still a possibility. I was also looking at one of the cheaper Onkyo sacd players, but reviews said the drive mechanism was audible. Quick scan didn't turn it up, but it was only $109 dollars.
