Yea, but as stated earlier, the 9000es cost about as much,or less then the cables most of us would run to a state of the art cd player such as the 860. You still get a great DVD player and you are supporting the format we all hope will win.(or maybe most of us) GET OFF THE FENCE OR TAKE YOUR BALL AND GO HOME!!!
Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
there have been numerous threads here, i know, about sacd v. dvd-a, upsampling, oversampling, etc. a number of these threads have included discussions of which, if any, new digital format will replace what we now call “redbook” cd’s. i don’t wish to rehash these discussions. rather, i’d like to hear from others how they are coping with the “age of uncertainty” in the realm of digital audio. is it better to “roll the dice” and invest in sacd or dvd a? ignore the contenders for the new and get the best possible out of redbook cd’s? buy with upgradeability firmly in mind? follow another path? i don’t post this query out of mere curiosity. i really haven’t figured out what course i should follow. i’d appreciate your giving me a hand. -kelly
