If you don't have a large collection of SACD/CDs forget it and go with streaming. Qobuz hi res albums are usually as good as SACDs or at least very close.
SACD/CD Drive Mechanism Replacement
Greetings!
I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question…
I’m considering purchasing a used SACD/CD player. I’m concerned that at some point the drive will give out.
If I bought a replacement drive for it right away and just stored it; can anyone install it when the time comes, or must the original manufacturer do it?
I appreciate your help!
Best wishes,
Don

@jsalerno277 very good point, much appreciated. @ghdprentice @mazian You both might be right... that I should consider streaming. I have to admit, I am very much old school. Hence my vinyl rig that I love so much. I don't have the first clue about streaming, so I have a lot to learn about that. I don't even know where to start. Best wishes, Don |
I agree if you don’t have collection of cds. And you are willing to learn streaming way to go. In my case I have large collection of cd, sacd, xrcd, so I don’t need streaming. Last axpona 2024 the WiFi at the venue got a problem. Many rooms can’t play music for the attendee. Some who are using turntable are lucky to demo their systems. |
I spent 3 days at AXPONA in both 2023 and 2024. At both shows, I really enjoyed the sound at the Joseph Audio/Doshi room. They were alternating between the wonderful sounding J. Sikora turntable and streaming. Those were the first time that I ever heard digital sound really enjoyable. I can't remember what they used for the streaming, etc. I'll have to maybe investigate that more. I have probably about 1000+ truly mint lp's in both jazz and classical. I have zero SACD's but am willing to purchase to add to my collection of music. I have probably 100 or so CD's. Best wishes, Don
