*edit* I just checked sonystyle.ca, and indeed the 370 and 470 listed on the site are SACD capable.

I can pick up the 370 for a little over $200au. Do either have the ability to shift subtitles for blu ray films?

The only players' that I know that can shift subs are the Oppo's. I'm not sure about the Sony's. Let me do a little more digging.

*edit* No, the 370 can't shift subs, not according to the manual.

Maybe it's worth while investing some more cash?

E.g. the Cambridge Audio Azur 750BD.

Also compatible with HDCD, Blu-ray Audio,...

Seems more futureproof to me, and a decent player either.

If not, try to find a second hand Pioneer or Denon at ebay??

My problem is I have a fair few sacd's and a very limited budget atm. There also hasn't been many blu ray audio release and I dont expect that to change anytime soon. Though if there was a player within my budget I would be very interested.

Are there any good future proof options within my budget?

I think you can still get them online a older OPPO DVD play like the DV-981HD I have it works pretty good for SACD & DVD SD

Sony BDP-S370 will handle your needs: both SACD & BD-A. Probably the cheapest out there & has very good reviews.

I agree Sony BDP-s370 would be best/cheapest way to go. BTW - How do you like your Benchmark DAC1 ?
