Does anyone have any opinion on the Marantz SA8260 SACD player?
Thanks in Advance

Likely a good machine but I'd personally vote for the Denons or the Yamaha universal players first. (Or the mega bucks players if I had the $ ) Is there a reason you want a standalone SACD player specifically?

Yes, I wanted a dedicated SACD/CD player to get the better sound and then concentrate on the DVD player with the better video and not worry about how good the CD audio is on that player. But I guess to fill my understanding gap, I don't want to sacrifice DVD movie sound quality. Som do you know if there are different audio componenets in a player - one for CD/SACD and the other for DVD?

Personally if that's the case I recommend a good universal from the likes of Denon/Yamaha/Pioneer/Marantz for DVD-V/DVD-A and SACD. Then a good standalone CD player from say Rotel, (to match the rest of your gear) as yes a standalone CD player will have specialized components to optimize it's performance for CD playback.
