I was sad to hear that Marantz was the last company to make transport drives for SACD and plans to discontinue them. And in a post below Steely Dan Katy Lied is just about to be released on SACD. A little puzzling to me.🤔
Mofimadness makes my point of reference. And without SACD players the SACD would only be a remastered redbook disc.
Thank you Mofimadness for pointing out the portion of the Paul McGowans presentation.
That aside, does anyone think that another manufacturer will pick up the SACD ball and run with it. Like Sony perhaps, since they introduced it in the first place?
Soix, I would have to agree that it is dying, but it saddens me that all my non-hybrid disc will join my 8 tracks when and if my Oppo dies. Ironically my first couple SACD players were Marantz then Ayre and now Oppo. I actually still have a brand new drive for the Ayre C5xe in case someone has a player that is in need of one. Ayre quite servicing that part years ago. Incidentally I finally pitched my Automatic Radio 8 Track recently.
