Absolutely! basement.Excellent points all around on the whole data extraction from a CD/SACD thing. If we are not "there" yet, as far as, player/dac(s) giving us the best sound? Manufacturers are getting pretty damn close.Happy Listening!

elizabethhow is the SA-10 settling into your system? Which cd player/transport(s) are you using w/ its DAC? Thank You.
Happy Listening!

Excellent discussion guys. I have only (1) CD that is bronze compared to silver in color. It is a disc from the 80's and spent most, if not all of its time, in Europe. Still plays fine indeed. As luck would have it I do not own any Compact Disc that exhibits "rot".Happy Listening!

I concur w/ Elizabeth, in that, there is an incredible amount of information stored/locked onto a CD or SACD. Historically, there have been a few players that possessed an ability to unlock ,  retrieve, the data in those pits and lands. The new Marantz SA-10 is such a player and relative bargain compared to the top-tier Esoteric (both actual brand) and other  spinners in the $15K to 50K neighborhood. 

Secondly, the DAC has come of age and properly matched w/ the best transport (C.E.C and other brands) offers the listener a never before musical experience.
Happy Listening!
