How good do SACD players play normal CDS


How good is the normal CD playback on a Sony SACD unit? I'm considering aroudn $3000 for a normal cd player such as a Wadia 830 or Classe CDP-1 or Meridian 508.24 Does the cd playback on a SACD come close to this level of regular cd players?

Fonsy, I'm tremendously happy that there's yet another RA CD50 owner who agrees with me! Long live RESOLUTION!!! Say hi to missus "C" for me...
Yes, by all means, don't listen when I recommend the CD50. My ears have lost so much blood, that I need a transfusion every night...Phill, I defer to your expertise and superior hearing. By the way, do your speakers have working woofers, and/or midranges?
I'm totally over whatever you think I had. I have ten pair of Wilson Wamms, myself, in a hanging array.
That's too much stuff, isn't it? Why do you need so much? And, how could you possibly listen to it all? I'm not joking about the WAMMs either...had to sell two of my Gulfstream G5 jets, just for the downpayment...cheers.
Ok, no it doesn't, and you're wrong as all heck, and don't know what you're talking about, boner. I'm no dealer, I can just hear better than everybody else, apparently..and know how to put a cohesive system together. It takes patience, not angst or thickheaded-ness.
