What is the definition of SACD -noobQ-


I couldn't find any definitions using the site search or a few mfgr web sites. I assume it is Stand Alone CD (player) after viewing a rear panel? Any special CD disk reqmts? Rediscovering my audiophile hobby after navy retirement. Also saving to purchase new DVD/CD player. My Stuff: Carver: TFM-35x, DPL-33, CT-23, (SDA-360 broken). Sony: TC-WE435, SEQ-711, Pioneer RT-707. Speakers...nevermind. lol.

Danlib1, the SACD Definition was only changed to "Slappy's American Car Distraction" do to "Slappy's Abstracted Coquette Desolateness".
SACD stands for "Slappy's American Car Distraction" , which is why he's hardly posting these days!
I agree with Jond.
What you can do when you get a new dvd player is find one that plays multiple formats. Sonys tend to play sacd, but not dvd-audio, while denon's and pioneer elites usually will play both formats. Also make sure the player will handle dv-r/rw if you burn your own discs.
SACD stands for Super Audio CD and is basically a commercial implementation of Sony's DSD, or Direct Stream Digital, technology. It does require both special discs and a player that can decode them. It has gotten good reviews in the press and by users but it would appear to be a dying technology, or at the very least an extreme niche technology, so it should be approached cautiously.
You will find your answer here, along with many other definitions(in case you have other questions about acronyms.)
