There has been some discussion over in the RR2150 forum lately about this very subject . Some folks have been using the OPPO Digital DV-970HD DVD player for CD's, HDCD's, and SACD's, which fits in your budget at $150. The Sony SCD-CE595 was also suggested, and I think it's pretty comparably priced. There are a number of other players mentioned in that thread, with a range of prices.
