| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel To get good results from redbook CD takes a relatively expensive player. I was unhappy with redbood CD playback until I purchased the Sony SCD XA777ES used on Audiogon for $1,600. Coincidentally, that machine also had SACD capability, which sounde... | |
| Wise Move or Not? I wouldn't buy a set of speakers without hearing them first. | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Ben --I am not sore -- I just think your comments should be put in thecontext of your experience. After purchasing a high end AyreCD-only player without auditioning any high end CD/SACD players first -- and then campaigning against SACD on thisboa... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Sort of like saying with regard to Mexico, "I've only been to Tijuana, but I don't recommend going to Cancun." | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel >>I'm only offering another set of experiences.<<By your own admission, you have extensive experience only with a high end Ayre CD player and a low end SONY SACD player --and you prefer the CD play-back on the higher end CD player -- v... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Vinyl is great, but I gave it up and have not regretted it -- if I werejust getting into this -- at this stage in the development of digital -- I would not get into vinyl -- just my opinion. I also think this starts adifferent thread -- the origin... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel I have the Emm Labs Dac6, which is a top of the line redbook CD player -- best I've ever heard -- simply amazing -- yet -- its SACD play-back is still superior. SACD is a superior medium. Music sounds more natural -- you have to hear it to underst... | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? No doubt redbook CDP's are evolving and there some great players, including the Emm Labs Dac6, whose redbook playback in second to none. Still, the SACD play-back is even better.If your price point includes the Burmeister and Linn, you need to hea... | |

| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel SACD two channel is superior to redbook two channel.You do not need multi-channel to enjoy SACD. I have hadmulti-channel SACD players like the Sony SCD XA 777ES and now I have the Emm Labs Dac6, but I listen to them intwo-channel and it sounds gre... | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? Eldart -- I understand what you're saying, but I think we're talking about the difference between theory and reality. In theory, there*may* be no reason a U-player like the Yamaha or the Denonshould be sonically inferior to a dedicated CD/SACD pla... | |
| Your 5 Stupendous SACD vs Redbook I also own the Dac6. The Dac6 makes regular CD's sound so good, it is amazing -- could easily eliminate one's dissatisfaction with redbook and digital, but still -- the SACD playback is even better. Great SACD's --Alison Krause & Union Station... | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? I would not recommend a universal player. This is not the way toget great sound. I own the Yamaha U-player, which I bought for$1,000. Then, I moved up to a Sony SCD XA 777 ES CD/SACDplayer, which I bought slightly used on Audiogon for $1,600. The ... | |
| SACD Opinions: Gimmick? Like it? Don't? Why? SACD sounds more natural -- the differences between CD andSACD are subtle, but profound. | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Yes, I still believe speakers are the most important,but I put the others in a slightky different order. |
