What kind of music do you listen to? SACD has largely been kept alive by Classical Music. I don’t listen to anything besides Classical but it’s my understanding that non classical SACD offerings are pretty limited
SACD or not
I have a question regarding SACD format. I am looking to replace my CD player and noticed some CD players have the ability to process SACD and some do not. I have never heard this format and was wondering if I should consider this in my purchase. My purchase price is in the $1400 range
I know people will question why I am using CD at all. That is another discussion for another time. I still like some physical media in my listening experience.
I look forward to your comments

My opinion is that if you don't already have a lot of SACDs, your money would be better spent on a dedicated redbook player or perhaps the Cambridge transport and a nice dac like the Denafrips Aries or something like that. I have a lot of SACDs and have never found an inherent superiority. Plus, lower-priced multi players do not, IMO, do as well with Redbook CDs as dedicated players. |
schmitty1, Are you planning to buy SACD’s? If the answer is yes, then you should look into a Marantz SACD/CD player. There are few listings on Audiogon, check them out. I currently own a Marantz SA-11S2 and both SACD and CD playback is superlative. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9dc1j-marantz-sa-14s1-cd-sacd-players https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9i8dh-marantz-sa-11s1-cd-sacd-players |
