There is some discussion over at AA in the hi-rez section on the new Pioneer. Read the comments provided so far - if memory serves me right (and it rarely does...) cd is ok , dvd-a is very good but SACD is not that good. Check it out to verify for yourself...
Consumer SACD/DVD-A worth it?
Hi all,
I'm interested in getting a DVD player for movies and such, but am curious about dvd-a and sacd. I might be tempted to spend the extra cash on a pioneer dv-47a which is "universal" if it is worth it. My hunch is that even with a relatively cheap player, SACD and DVD-A will sound better than my Arcam FMJ CD23. What do you think? Will I be wasting my money - or will I actually get some good sound along with a good picture?
