Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
Hi Drubin. If you're saying that the unit plays CD's very well or well enough to justify the price paid, then what can I or anyone say to that? Point taken!! 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
Hi JD. In regards to my quotes maybe I can clear a few of them up for you. 1. Crappy meaning crappy SACD selection (relative to taste)2. SACD is sonically better sounding than regular CD's is true. However, that is not what anyone was debating her...

In response to Drubin. I'm sure that everyone is an imformed purchaser like you and to prove it just look at some of the newbie questions that we have on this board. Maybe it is worth it to you to have an SACD playback deck in your system but what...

Well Jadem6. I appreciate your humor but in all seriousness, for you to say that the Sony 9000es is as good as most outboard Dac's just let's me know that Sony has you exactly where they want you. Hey, I'm not knocking anyone for how they choose t... 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
So in other words you've spent maybe $2,500 - $5,000 to have a better than average CD player(relative) and a SACD player that has limited software and is no shoe in to be around in the near future. I guarantee you that if this format doesn't stick... 
Which is better: separates or receiver?
I totally agree with Chaskell except on the recommendation of the Anthem pre/pro. For $3,000 you can find really nice pre/pros second hand mostly for about $1,500. Unless you are more concerned with have 6.1 or 7.1 availability, then there are mor... 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
Drubin, I intended my last post to be helpful because there are a lot of people out there that are under the impression that their CD's are on the verge of becoming obsolete. I'm not kicking up dust but honestly, would you buy a computer if there ... 
Multi-channel Sony SACD player
Point taken on the definition of SACD. Regarding me saying not to buy the units if there's no software to me makes sense. I've looked over the catalogs that SACD offers and I really don't see anything that would make me want to invest in this form... 
Multi-channel Sony SACD player
Has anyone heard of any multi-channel SACD movies coming out? If so, let me know. If not, don't buy the new units!! 
Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help
I don't understand why someone would purchase a SACD player when there is no software for it. To me, it's like purchasing a computer that has limited software meanwhile crossing your fingers hoping that the software will grow. I don't know many pe... 
Cigarette Smoke Harm Solid State Unit ?
Hey FBI. I'm into professional recording and I've noticed that when a recording studio is selling some of it's gear they always say if it's been exposd to cigarette smoke or not. I'm not sure why but my engineer friend tells me that equipment expo... 
Power Amp for newbie
Thump, I've owned the Acurus RL-11 and I presently own the ACD-11 CD player that is used as a transport presently. It's nice to assume that if you purchase all of the same brand that you should have some magical synergy but in my experience that i... 
How good is MSB Link III?
Hi Kitty. What is good about the MSB Link DAC is that it's upgradeable, it's inexpensive and that many people offer performance modifications to this unit. I wouldn't worry about SACD just yet because they barely have any titles for it at least ti... 
SACD/DVD Audio Combi Players?
Hi SG69. As a guy who was very excited about these new formats, I've decided to let software dictate when I buy any hardware that's software dependent. For now, I buy my CD's and try to get the best sound out of my Cd player and DAC because no mat...
