it probably depends on SACD player my SONY 9000ES (new in 2002 was $1500) really sounds worse them my Arcam ALPHA 6 (new in 1996 was $900) CD player. It was not that big difference on MF A300 (on sale on Audiogone), but since I have Supratek/Clayton combo + Thiel3.6 difference is huge. SACD is just lifeless, non-involving to me, sounds like hifi not like music (I was comparing it on hybrid discs).
So I will be upgrading source next year, I do not have courage to buy expensive SACE player I will take easy and safe route and will by good quality CD source. (Thinking about Audio Areo)
