| APL Hi-Fi NWO-4.0SE CD Player Review "I'm not sure what you're referring to by the NWO-S1. "Hello Frank.This is "light" NWO-SS and its based not on X-01 but SA-50 model. It also has less DACs per channel and I am sure some other changes. So, it is SACD/CD Player with high quality dig... | |

| Footers for Esoteric SA50 CD-SACD Player The best is Still Point Compponent Rack (9 inch, 4 legs). A bit expensive but will allow SA-50 to show its potential in full (of course, coupled with high quality power cord) | |
