I have had no problems with the SACD Standard. I was concerned about noise from the Phillips chip before I bought it but the fact that it was the perfect match for the 400xi caused me to overlook it. In using it daily for 8-16 hours at a time (its at the office) I have never noticed any noise -- just the great music. It does seem like my unit is quieter than the one I heard at Tweeter. I have never had any problem with it reading any SACDs and I have over a hundred of them, all genres from Living Stereos to John Legend. Too bad that you don't have any Aerial dealers nearby. The black 5b is a perfect match for my black Krells, the tight Krell control and the liquid smoothness of the Aerials complement each other very well, at all volume levels from whisper quiet to very loud. I am using Kimber XLR balanced cables and Monster Z series speaker cables.
