Jfz, opps! I did not know they had a third model.
Which of these SACD players would you choose?
Oppo BDP-80 (blu-ray, SACD, DVD Audio) - Retail $289
Pioneer Elite PD-D6-J (SACD) - Retail $499 on Sale for $229
I already have an Integra 6-disk CD player and a Samsung blu-ray player that would be replaced by the Oppo and obviously would stay with the Pioneer Elite.
It seems that there should be less compromise with the Pioneer Elite because of its retail price and the fact that it has fewer features. I have room in my entertainment center for another component, but would mind keeping it simple.
What are you thoughts?

Mceljo, John Marks say about the album you used in your evaluation, "Perhaps I first should have consulted my horoscope in the local newspaper. But I can't imagine what it could have said that might have warned me off. So, in blissful ignorance, I went to the local big-box consumer-electronics chain retailer and laid down my lettuce. I thought I was buying the SACD version of Norah Jones' Come Away With Me (Blue Note 5 41472 8), but, by the end of the affair, I felt I'd gotten The Royal Scam." http://www.stereophile.com/thefifthelement/1104fifth/ |
