Cough, splutter. Surely you're not giving credence to "that" magazine?
One thought, Richer sounds regularly sell of BD players at "clearance" prices. I picked up a Pioneer BDP140 a couple of years ago for all of �50. It can't stream (but then I had major issues with buffering of the streaming with a Sony that I tried), but works fine and even has SACD capability.
So if you have a HD621, possible to get your system to playback SACDs without having to find a BD player with decent analogue outputs.
