Seriously, folks, do you really think it fair to judge a format by one of its weakest software offereing? The Police albums? Come on! Great music, for sure, a good representation of what SACD is about, not even close....
WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in.
Ive had the Marantz DV-8400 for about 8/9 days. Have been using repeat play alot overnight, during the day etc. to check If I can hear improvement..After maybe 10/12 hours the new Beck sounded great..But I tried a Police SACD, and thought , well that was kind of ordinary...sounded kind of boxey.. Well I played it again last night, and I could not believe it. It was like listening to a completely different disc. Almost put the Police in the low fi pile, glad I gave it a second spin. Anyone else recall their burn in process when they got a new SACD machine , Thanks.
