CD v. SACD


I was planning on buying a new CD player (Rega Jupiter 2000), when I read a few reveiws of the Sony SCD-XA777ES, which used, I could buy for about the same amount as the Rega new. I currently have an extensive CD collection, but no SACDs. My question is whether I should just go ahead and buy the Sony, or whether a dedicated CD player, like the Rega (or others at its price point) are significantly better in their CD playback. Thanks.

What are you talking about? The Sony ES line SACD players sound great.

I don't know what your smoking. Take a trip over to Tweakaudio.com and do some reading. Call Rick and tell him Sony sucks. This guy is well respected in the bussines of modifing high,low,and medium grade players. You have not a clue what you are talking about. On his advice I bought a DVP9000ES and am waiting for his mod. to come out.

What Sony player did you have? Did it have a couple of weeks of solid run time before you sat down to listen to it?

Not a blind follower of Sony.
