To which I wold add that if you have not heard your SACDs as rips (and your CDs too) you probably haven't heard them at their best. Running a silver disk through a machine can do nothing to improve the SQ of the music files they contain. Only detract.
SACD or not SACD?
Hej
I have two
DAC:s but just one transport so I thought I'll buy another transport for my head speaker
rig. But then I thought, maybe I should look
for a SACD player instead (have some classical discs with SACD and my interest
for classical music is growing so there will surely be more SACD hybrid
discs).
I've read some reviews of SACD players and the conclusion is always the same;
SACD sounds better than CD. But they always compares SACD vs CD on the same
player. Never the SACD player as a SACD player vs a dedicated CD player with
the same SACD hybrid disc.
And I've even read that some people says that a SACD plays can't read Red Book
properly.
So the question is; how much do I have to spend to get a SACD player that plays
CD:s at least as good as my Cambridge CXC transport paired with LAB12 DAC1 SE or at
least as RME ADI-2 DAC FS? Or maybe a SACD player that would be at least as
good transport as my Cambridge CXC. Yes, I realize that the chance that anyone
have had the chance to compare these combinations are almost none, but...
