| The Ultimate SACD Machine Tmsorosk, the beanie joke was my response to the 'nerd' comment.Now I wish I had one though.XRCDs are great. | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine I smell a battle brewing.I'm going to don my Vinyl Propeller Beanie and matching bow tie. Be back soon. | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine Tvad it's just that the linked review literally didn't talk about SACD performance at all. As I stated I am not looking for a player for RB. I only have time to read the posts that tell me exactly what I'm interested in. Also, you know I hate silv... | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine Tmsorosk, I don't think posting an impression as it comes to me merits any sort of criticism, really.And Tvad, I'm sorry, but your advice was clearly just barely on-topic.I am going to try at least a couple of the new-generation SACD machines but ... | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine I'm the guy who started the thread, Tmsorosk, so keep your insults and your cluelessness to yourself, perhaps. | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine Tvad - that 6moons review says barely six words about the Luxman's SACD performance.But who am I kidding? I am listening to my Thorens 124 II right now and I already know there is no digital source in the world that sounds this good - this natural... | |

| The Ultimate SACD Machine I just read a bit about the 5400. I have always liked the Marantz SACD house sound but this player seems to really impress a lot of people. (Of course, in this game hearing "component x is the best thing ever" from one or two or even three people ... | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine To me most high-end players stink on RB compared to AN DACs. SACD is obviously another story. But I've never heard the SA7 (owned a S11 1 as I said).4musica, those are impressive systems. | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine 4music, what type of music are you talking about, in what ways was the Ayre superior, and what were the systems like? Thanks. | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine Thanks for the response. I neglected to mention that redbook performance is another factor. I would sort of like to be able to have a single digital source, getting rid of my (fabulous) Audio Note DAC. The EMM might make that possible but I doubt ... | |
| It's the Sony XA5400ES the best CDP under 4k Marantz players (SA11) have better timbre and more body at least on SACD. | |
| I have three digital sources David,For kicks today I played an SACD through my Oppo BDP-83. As I recall, it's really, really good! Except for one thing: the machine's output level is so low I don't have enough system gain.On RBCD it's no match for the DAC but SACD is good. | |
| Why hasnt yamamoto A-o11 gotten more love? There is no doubt the s-phile sample was a fluke or damaged because quality control does not get to a level higher than Yamamoto's. |
