FYI, I'm noticing that the Philips SACD-1000 Multichannel SACD/DVD Video players are now showing up on Audiogon and eBay (among other web auction places) for $500 - $700 in sealed boxes and almost new condition.
While the SACD-1000 doesn't pass the DTS digital signal out, it's an otherwise fine SACD player at these prices. (The original list price was $2,000). And it features 6 of the Marantz/Philips High Definition Analog Modules (HDAMs) for Multichannel playback that are not in the newer $500 and under Philips SACD players.
So if you're looking for a Multichannel SACD player, I'd give these a serious look !
