i would be willing to bet that the people who are bad-mouthing the scd-1 player have not had the oportunity to listen to it for any length of time in their homes.as a new audio format it is light years ahead of regular cd playback. every one of the very best respected reviewers in the audio industry can't be wrong.it is 100% unanimous that super audio is as close to the original master tape as can probably be obtained.a friend of mine that has the top of the line basis table and vandenhul frog set up was blown away by the sound. he didn't think he would ever say that digital was as good or possibly better then his analogue set-up.as for those of you who don't think it's a very good cd player try using a good outboard dac with it and i dare you to find a cd player under $7500 that will touch it. it does,by the way, take about 3-400 hours to fully break-in also.so gp buy it as a great cd player. you can find them for about $3500 if you look and get a great superaudio player free.
