    That listing though is only for the transport, so you would need to buy the DAC and potentially the clock as well.

    Andre, I thought the Cambridge BD was a rebadged Oppo BD with different audio boards, which in my experience (I've owned a number of Marantz CD/SACD players) are difficult to better without spending rude amounts of money.
    If you can get your hands on one of the early Sony SACD players then that may be a good alternative.

    Neil,

    Indeed. Emporium is selling all three. Even totting up that lot still gives a superb SACD experience for relatively speaking not very much in comparison to performance level.
