Neither player has dvd-audio....only sacd...the better of the two hi rez formats imho.
Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared?
OK, the Sony is the internet darling, we know that. Infinitely modifiable, very well built, good stock performance, especially at the going rates.
The new Phillips at a retail of $500, with switchable 24/192 upsampling of redbook, and capability of playing CD-R, as well as SACD, is getting some good buzz.
Sony typically has excellent reliability, but POOR service experiences abound (I've had a few).
Phillips, onthe other hand, at least with the 1000 SACD, had some questionable reliability, and I've not heard anythign re: service experiences.
SO,
anyone compared the Redbook and SACD performance of these machines?
Should I sell my 9000ES???
thanks!
