SACD certainly bests CD for me.

Just brought home a Sony NS9100ES from The Sony Store for my fisrt listen to SACD (am I what they call a 'late' adopter?). Soft,round,musical-just much more natural & complete than a similar priced CD player. I won't switch because 1.I'm OK with my CD's, and 2. the lack of selection on SACD- but- I would like recommendations on CD players that can provide that SACD fullness-without breaking the bank. Used players are fine. (I really don't understand why there was much discussion about the merit of SACD over CD- it's just so obvious)

SACD beats CD for me, too. I am fortunate that most of my music is available on SACD. It helps to like classical and a tiny smattering of jazz. It also helps that MOST SACD releases are simply mastered better - even the CD layer on SACD's sound better than the originals. Some companies are going back to the master tapes and re-encoding them into DSD. The difference between the original CD (released in the 1980's) and the 2007 remaster is usually pretty obvious.

All the best from sunny Australia, Keith.
