SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke?


I've always been curious about SACD.  For many years I was near 50% cd and 50% vinyl in my listening.  I ditched CDs and went all vinyl for awhile. In the last 2 years I have upped my digital game with a great tube DAC and enjoy Tidal quite a bit.  As I now have better sounding digital I've wondered if my previous bias slightly against digital clouded my view of SACD.  

I'm thinking that if I bought one and had 10-15 killer SACDs I would feel it worth it.  This would require the SACDs to be of great music I love and also offer something special sonically. 

And now, THE Question:  What can you tell me about your SACD use and would you replace the player if it broke or was otherwise out of commission? 

Thank you so very much.  This forum makes it possible to get intel like this without knowing a living soul using SACD that I could have a beer (or two :) and learn more from a firsthand user.

I own around 200 SACD discs and buy more every year. For me, I would replace any SACD player if one owns this kind of collection. There are many bargains to be found in the demo/used marketplace.


Happy Listening!

Thank you jafant!  This is encouraging information.  Interest is piqued further!

Do you stream music and if so how do you compare the two?
