Although the Sony player may sound great, it might be worth your while to check out how the new Pioneer universal player (DV-47A) compares before deciding. A universal player, if it can be brought up to the same quality standard (mods?), would in the long run be a better bet.
Which multichannel SACD player?
I'm looking for the best multichannel SACD player which will also be used as a CD transport/player. My system is the following: B&K Ref 30 Pre-Amp; B&K Ref 7250 5ch Amp; Martin Logan Aerius i; Martin Logan Cinema; Martin Logan Scripts; and Velodyne HGS-10. Is there any multichannel SACD player which can double as a great cd player?
