Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well

The EMM Labs is the best I have heard on SACD as well as CD.

I am the distributor for this product and that being said, it is in a class of it's own.

In my 35 years of audio experience (and madness), and in MY system, based on MY tastes, My preferences and MY room, the EMM Labs is BY A VAST MARGIN, the best digital source I have ever heard. But what REALLY makes it so special for me with 1300 Redbook CDs, is that its Redbook performance is better than ANY other Redbook or SACD player I have ever heard (and I have heard almost all of the top shelf players -- e.g., Accuphase, DCS, Marantz, Burmester, Wadia, Audio Aero, etc). I am NOT a dealer or connected with EMM Labs, just a lover of music, a devotee of good analog and astonished at how good digital has become.

Jtinn,

EMM Labs should be good but there is no one piece player. Learn the EMM products from other post here, DCC2 can suit me well. But the DAC itself can emply my pocket in one go! The MSRP is USD10000. And I need some extra $$$ for the Meitner transport. Is there any outlet selling the whole set under my budget?

I have heard the new Musical Fidelity Tri Vista player, and it sounded great. Its about $6000. See a review in the recent Stereophile.

I love me Marantz SA-1. Just ordered the Superclock II, which should really bump it up another notch. These are out of production and can be found at great discounts on Audiogon.
Cheers,
Gregg
