bought used through Audiogon. Much nicer to use than the el cheapo Toshiba universal player I had previously. The SA8260 is much better for accessing tracks, and I love the ability to change from multi-channel SACD to stereo SACD right on the front panel--no need to use the remote.Not sure yet if there is an improvement in the sound--the format is so good-sounding that perhaps hardware isn't that big of a factor (OK, go ahead and flame me on that one!).
I'm also using the SA8260 as a CD transport, feeding my Curcio DAC. Works great in that capacity, as well.
