As a general comment I think the Marantz sacd players are built better than the Sony. I had a Modwright Sony ES5400 and the transport tray was a weak point. I now have a Modwright Marantz SA 8005 and it is built very well. I can't comment on the sound difference since I never heard them prior to the mods. However, the after mod sound of the Marantz is better than the Sony with the same modifications.
SACD or not
I have a question regarding SACD format. I am looking to replace my CD player and noticed some CD players have the ability to process SACD and some do not. I have never heard this format and was wondering if I should consider this in my purchase. My purchase price is in the $1400 range
I know people will question why I am using CD at all. That is another discussion for another time. I still like some physical media in my listening experience.
I look forward to your comments
