| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? According to the website, the new Sony player isn't available yet. | |
| Industry Participants I think some are taking this forum a little too seriously, and giving to much weight to the opinions expressed here. We all have preferences on the products we use and recommend. Should every participant state their favorite products next to their... | |
| Closed back headphone recommendation Considering your sophisticated taste in headphones, the choice for me would be obvious- Audeze LCD-XC (closed-back version of LCD-X). | |
| Great week for live music Sf Bay area.. I would love to have seen Natalie Merchant again. We've seen her a half a dozen times in the past. Amazing voice! We would have seen her if she was anywhere in the East Bay (maybe Oakland). Why they only booked her in San Francisco is a mystery to... | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players jafant,Incredibly, there was a Pioneer Elite BDP 09 on C***list in my area for months, at $500. The seller offered to sell it to me for $450, but it still took another month to sell it. Whoever bought it got a genuine bargain. It wasn't me since I... | |
| Now Keith Emerson is gone... ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery" was a big favorite of mine. Very sad about Keith Emerson's passing. I used "Lucky Man" and "Take a Pebble " as demo tracks to show off my system back in the 70's. | |
| George Martin RIP I have always had enormous respect for his contribution to Beatles music. If you listen to early, unprocessed Beatles songs they were always catchy. But what we hear today is the result of George Martin's ability to refine their music into the mas... | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players Jafant,No, I bought the Pioneer BDP09 used several years ago from a dentist in Connecticut. It worked great with DVDs, and I only used it recently for Blu-Ray and found it wouldn't play them. Remembering that the dentist had included about six dis... | |
| Losing out Having had similar experiences, I share your frustration. You sound like a serious buyer and the seller has not treated you well. However, "a good convo with the seller" doesn't replace a firm offer. Your story didn't say that you had submitted an... | |
| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? The Sony Blu-Ray players don't play DVD-Audio (not much of a loss). I know their early flagship Blu-Ray (S-1) players didn't even play CDs. If it's true that their current top of the line Blu-Ray player "is their last SACD player", it doesn't soun... | |
| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? Just a reminder...the poster asked for a player that does SACD, Blu-Ray and offers "audiophile quality sound." The Oppo does that (as does the Cambridge). While "audiophile quality sound" is subjective, adding multi-channel or 4K questions to this... | |
| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? Oppo 105D, the biggest bargain in audio! The Oppo 103D is a good choice as well, at about half the price. | |
| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players mahler123,I also have a Pioneer Elite BDP 09 that I use for video. The audio through the "Pure Audio" mode is great, however, initially it wouldn't play Blu-Ray until it had a firmware update. Who invents this stuff? It's like buying a car that wo... | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? reubent,Of all the universal players I have had, the Oppo loads the fastest! Don't be concerned, my comment was just a heads up to people who think that there must be a problem with their universal player because start up time is considerably long... | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? Just FYI, I would hope by now that most people realize that universal players take considerably longer to load than a conventional CD player. I have an Oppo 105D and a Pioneer BDP 09 for video. On the rare times that I use them for listening sessi... |
