I purchased a used Cary CD 306 SACD player about 2 months ago. This is the one that was released right before the CD 306 SACD Pro version. My unit was manufactured in 2006. I have been enjoying the sonic quality and musicality of this machine and everything have been going smoothly with few minor quirks every once in a while but nothing major and does not affect playbacks or performance.
Anyways, I've been playing CD & SACD discs with no issues except for this newly acquired Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here SACD that I recently purchased. My Cary simply wouldn't read this particular SACD disc. It said "no disc" on the front panel display. I took it out of a disc tray and put in other SACD disc and the Cary was able to read and play it just fine. All other SACD & CD discs were played just fine except for this particular Wish You Were Here SACD disc. I found it pretty odd.
Anyone having the same issue or problem with this Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here SACD with either the Cary CD 306 SACD player or any other CD/SACD players? Or does anyone know what seems to be the issue? Thanks in advance.
Yes, I still have the Cary CD 306 SACD player / DAC (non professional version).
I’m thinking to trade it in for the professional version of this player. I love this player and would imagine the professional version of this player would sound even better.
@dilatante I picked up a used Cary 306month ago. Modified the power supply section close to 100 capacitors and resistors. New laser and Redbook sounds awesome. Not impressed with the unit in stock form at all. For solid state it is simply amazing now. Happy listening
