Do you really feel the need to cover both formats ? Is there really enough recordings being released on either format to make either of them "mandatory" at this point in time ? While there are a few SACD recordings that are worth owning, there really isn't enough out there to even begin to wet my appetite. I'm sure that DVD-A is probably about the same, give or take. Bottom line to me is that either format is capable of pretty good performance IF the people doing the recording and mastering know what they are doing. Otherwise, a very good quality redbook based front end is just as good or better. I say this as they are all limited by the quality of recording being fed into them. Since most recordings are junk, the limitations aren't with a good system of any format, but with the recordings themselves. Sean
