| Multi-channel Sony SACD player Also, rumor has it that the next generation of Sony DVD players will be SACD compatiable following the lead of the S9000ES. Nothing has been officially announced, but it makes sense to me.Sony is a high volume manufacturer--not a highend, limited ... | |
| Multi-channel Sony SACD player The problem has been with the authoring equipment. Until recently there has been no equipment to mix DSD recordings. so the initial releases have been from original tape masters and direct DSD recordings without studio remixing. Note that you'll s... | |
| "local" sacd's HMV.COM is the lowest priced. Sony SACDs are $18.42 and last I looked, they shipped them for free if you bought 4 or more. Not that much more than buying a CD from Sam Goody's. | |
| Multi-channel Sony SACD player The SCD-C555ES Multi-channel multi-disc player is due in April at $1,700 list.The SCD-CE775 Multi-channel multi-dic player is due in July at $400 list.In the U.S., these complement the SCD-1, SCD-777ES, SCD-C333ES, and DVP-S9000ES SACD players. | |
| SONY SCD S333ES TomRyan, I needed a new DVD player to replace my second generation Sony. I kept waiting for a good DVD-Audio player. The CD and DVD-Video audio of the S9000ES was vastly superior to any DVD-Audio player I could find. I bought the 9000ES and have h... | |
| Soney 9000ES as a transport Back to audio. Yes you can use it as a transport. It's a much better transport than the Panasonic A7, JVC723GD, and Sony 300. My 22 year old son and I could barely tell the difference between using the digital outs to my Rotel 985 ($2000) or using... | |
| Sony Multi-Disc SACD I love my S9000ES and SACD recordings, but I sometimes question my sanity when I send $30 on a 36 minute SACD recording. That's about 5 CD's from BMG. The $20-$30 software price is the biggest SACD shortcoming. Next comes variety. I'm confident th... | |
| Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II I would also consider a SCD-333 Sony. It would be about $800 mail order new with warranty. Check out www.oade.com. I believe that you not only would have superior CD play to what you are considering, but you would have SACD capability. | |
| "local" sacd's I live in the Washington DC area. I went to a local Tower Records and they never heard of SACD or DVD-Audio. Frankly, when you think about it, I doubt whether there's 200 people in the DC area interested in buying SACD or DVD-Audio. One high-end s... | |
| Moderately priced phono preamps Yes, I only use the PSE for records and use the PSEs Record Out to an Aux In on the Rotel. I do not remember it's name, but I have the cartridge that typically is sold with the Rega. Yes, I would like to replace the PSE--only if I can find somethi... | |
| Next ? Is DVD audio as good as CD? And if you're willing to spend more money, you can buy a Sony S9000ES CD/DVD/SACD player ($1500 retail and about $1100 mail order). It's CD play is being compared to comparatively priced CD players. It's SACD play exceeds $10K turntables and CD pl... | |
| SACD WINS! I went in Tower Records in Fairfax Virginia. I asked if thay had any SAcd recordings. Confused, the salesman got the manager. Neither had heard of SACD. I then asked about DVD-Audio. They hadn't heard about that either. Hey, maybe CD WINS! | |
| Legacy Focus? A good speaker? I love my Focus speakers. They're clean sounding, efficient, and dynamic. Some people state that in comparision with other speakers in this price range, the highs are too directional and the transits a little soft. Legacy, itself, states that it's... | |
| How to pronounce SACD? I did not write the above comment, "fu*#@#+!!!!". I did start the thread, and I think I got the answer. | |
| Any opinions on Leagacy stuff? I have Legacy Focus speakers ($5400) and love them. They're clean, dynamic, and efficient. Bass extends very low, but when you play them, you sometimes think bass is weak. If there's little bass in the source material, the speaker will not produce... |
