I'm interested in adding a CD player to my system which is run by a Denon 3805. I have $350 to spend and want to join the SACD/DVD-A world. I've found it's not possible to find an audio-only player that can support the basic CD formats, MP3, DVD-A, and SACD. I have come to the understanding I will need a machine that also supports DVD-Video (even though I use a Denon 1910 for video and I am quite happy with it). I have been told the Pioneer Elite DV45A has excellent audio but not so great video, which is fine with me. I would like a couple of suggestions to go along with the Pioneer so I can demo them at the same time if possible. Any thoughts to machines that support the formats I want for under $350? Thanks.

I have a Denon 2200 and absolutely love it. Fantastic video and audio. I picked it up for around $300, with manufactuer's and extended warranty, from Ecost.com (if you don't mind a refurb, of course.)

Audioholics gave a rave review of the new Yamaha C750 for its audio prowess. It even offers flexible bass management settings for SACD (few universals do that) and it retails for under 350$.
