SACD-R

I have recently come across a few websites that have SACD downloads that can be Burned onto DVD-R and saved as an SACD-R. They sound INCREDIBLE!

Unfortunately, this has started me down a new path of component searching.

There are not many machines that play these discs, mostly newer BluRay players: Oppo, Marantz, DENON, Sony...

I have auditioned a Primare BD32 that has set the bar in my system for sound quality, but I do not need any of the Video or Multi-channel features of the unit, not do I really want to spend $6,000.

So, I am wondering if anyone else has gone down this road yet.

If so, is there an up-to-date list of compatible SACD-R players somewhere?

I am interested in knowing if the some of these models are compatible:
Marantz SA-8004
Yamaha CD-S1000
Pioneer Elite PD-D9MK2-K
ss5

Me, my friend and my cossin all have the best Universal player ever built, the Denon DVD-3910. We all bought two of these in case of spareparts. DVD audio sounds great, SACD sounds formidable. The dynamic is one of a kind. There is nothing better, not even vinyl. These days you can still buy one under €100,00. But the more people know these are the only high-end players that can play SACD-R, the more the price will rise. We also make our own SACD from DVD-rips and HD-Tracs and HD-Vinyl, with the help of the Philips software:
Super Autor. In a german test on the internet, the DENON DVD-3910 Was the best SACD plyer ever tested.
