SACD

The SA-10 is very fine indeed. This player was on my short-list, except, I could not score a demo here in the Southeast U.S.
Keep me posted as it settles into your room/system.

Happy Listening!

Safe and Sound has a 30 day return.

@twoleftears ,You can pick one of the following Sony players from eBay/Amazon for $50 and rip your SACD, as .dsf files.
BDP-S390 (or BX39), BDP-S490, BDP-S590 (or BX59), BDP-S4100, BDP-S5100 (or BX510)
I did this over the past couple of weeks. Did not realize that over a few years I had collected about 140 SACDs.

Is it just me or does it seem that Amazon only has garbage sacd titles in classical?

Who wants to listen to some ancient recording in sacd? ie living stereo stuff. The rest seems to be samplers and recordings or performances that were not well regarded in the first place.

Has all the good stuff been taken? Or something else?

I enjoy multichannel playback if instruments are distinctly separated or a more holographic image is created, but the latter can be achieved in stereo with a proper set up; The former occurring mostly in smaller bands or groups.

For that matter, has anyone perceived an advantage in using multichannel with large orchestras or symphonies?
