Monoprice Product ID 5557 (which is made by Port-ta, a Hong Kong co.) will work with many players and it is under $50. I have a Modwright modded Oppo BDP-83 and prefer going through the de-embedder via my Bryston DAC. I also use one in the secondary basement system with an Emotiva DAC. I have about 300 SACDs and I find it a tough sell to move to the next level for an SACD disc spinner knowing I'm probably going to have to spend $4k+ to top what I have (my friend was set to buy a Marantz SACD player before he tried the de-embedder). At $4k, I'm spending $13/disc for the capability to play it. I can still use a DAC for CDs, DVD-As and even audio on Blu-Rays (not to mention PC Audio at resolutions more than CD).
