I have more vinyl than cd's. I have about 10% Hybrid SACD's compared to standard ones. They in most cases they sound better but it depends on the recording. I have the ability to play downloaded HR audio but haven't purchased any. I may in the future due to limited space concerns. I may also look into streaming. Should the SACD player break I would probably repair or replace it. I like having access to the physical media with art work and information about the recordings.
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.
