Transport loud with SACD?

I have the 9000es and cannot hear the transport spin unless i get my ear right up against it. Then maybe I can just barely hear "something" when playing an SACD. I just tried it & have not compared noise on a redbook cd. Mine is a new player that I had modwright level 3 Mods ($800). It sounded so fantastic out of the box on sacd that I may not buy anymore redbook cds. But the redbooks sound excellent even though the unit has only a few hours on it. Unfortunately, I now wish I had gone multi channel.

I had a Sony SCD-C555ES and I could hear the transport during SACD playback, but never in Redbook CD playback. It didn't happen all the time on SACD. When it did, I could usually eject the disc and put it back in to get rid of the noise. Anyway, I took the player back because it was audible at my listening chair. I figured that I either got a bad unit or it was a design flaw that would get worse instead of better. Maybe Sony has a general problem with SACD transport. I'm not sure if it spins SACDs faster than Redbook??? Anyone else noticing this noise?

I also have the 9000es and I have not experienced any noise form the unit whatsoever. My unit is dead quite. I would have the 9000es checked out.

Good Luck!

I have a new SONY DVP-NS755V multichannel DVD/SACD player that makes a high frequency noise (it sounds like the motor is spinning much faster) when I play a SACD. The unit is acceptably quiet for regular CD's and DVD's. I would not recommend this unit to anyone interested in listening to SACD's....the noise is so irritating that any benefit from higher fidelity is drowned out by the noise!
