Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object
I just read the SACD/DVD-A is Dead thread which bummed me out a bit as I have been pondering the purchase a Sony SCD-1.
If it is true that redbook has already or will soon eclipse SACD, is there any consensus on state of the art CD players or DACs that can actually approach the fun of analogue.
Some of you have suggested that the Sony SCD-1 offers glorious redbook, the new Musical Fidelity DAC seems to be chateau Lafite to some and snake oil to others.
Is there any consensus on world class, undisputed heavy weight champ redbook players and/or DACs these days?
I would especially appreciate your opinions on what you think is the best of the best -- not "sleepers", good for their price range etc.
I don't mind spending the big bucks, just want to enjoy music again.
