SACD?????

I think that vinyls will still last longer than SACD.
So instead of SACD player the turntable might be the better option.
Right now for the digital it is the best to buy used high quality CD-player or CD + DAC combo and enjoy. The favorable SONY 9000es sucks on regular CDs!

I bought the 9000ES, but primarily because I wanted a better picture quality for DVD movies. It definitely delivered. The sound quality (digital out on 5.1 and DTS soundtracks) is also superb. As to SACD, I agree with many of the above posts. It is pretty stagnant at this point in time, when it should be releasing thousands of titles by the month at this point. I've bought only 3 SACDs, and I think that's all I will buy for the time being. The SACD sound quality from 9000ES does not equal my vinyl.

Bottom line: don't by the 9000ES for SACD. If you need a great quality DVD for movies--it's worth it and you get SACD as bonus. I also agree that regular CD's are pretty poor off the Sony.

Thanks for all the responses. I appreciate the input.

I have a Marantz SA-1 player. It palys great regular cds and incredible super audio cds. Marantz stopped making it because I heard the costs were too great. Buy one and it will give you years of enjoyment.
