Who make SACD machine today?
I also recommend the S9000ES if you plan to keep a stereo system even if you never use the DVD feature. It would also give you the option of buying Chesky and Classic DADs--stereo audio recorded at 96/24.If you plan to go multichannel someday, buy...

I heard the new 777ES SACD player
Remember, the original SCD-777ES listed for $3,500. The new 777 lists for $500 less, has bass management and multichannel option. It still plays stereo. However, the real test will be when someone is able to compare the sonics of each.

Sony SCD-C333ES a good buy?
I hear the 333ES is being discontinued. You may find it at www.oade.com. In July, Sony is coming out with a C222ES, which will be stereo/multichannel and with a list price ($800) that's $400 cheaper than the 333ES list price. I have no idea if it ... 
SCD-1 can be purchased at 2850 new.
Yes the Marantz is great, but be aware that it's just been discontinued. May find better prices than the $5500. I'm also not sure how long Sony will be selling the SCD-1. Sony appears to be going multichannel with all their SACD players. First the...

Even "Cheap" CD-RW work in Sony 9000ES

And I agree that the A-10 is a wonderful player for under $400. It's Redbook play is superior to comparabilty priced DVD players. I also agree that the 777 redbook play is superior to the S9000ES and 333ES.I own a S9000ES, and also bought two DVD-...

96/24 Audio,DTS Signals
If your receiver processes all signals digitally, the answer is probably no. I bought a $2000 Rotel 985 about one year ago and it processes all inputs (except the 5.1) digitally as 48/24. For example, the signal from my turntable gets processed di...
