Sony SCD-1 is it the best player for the money?


Do you guys know if the SCD-1 is as good as say a cambridge 840 on redbook, I know on SACD it is s good as a Moon Eclipse playing rebook cd s.

I ordered mine already so hopefully it does a good job, and I don't think you can ever win anyway technology keeps changing
plus this player was way over my budget but I figured for the money it was the best I could score, and I could always use it as as transport later on and get a wadia 150 dac if need be in
a few years anyway thanks for the info greatly appreciated.
Paul, if you ever want to the improve performance of both DAC & transport sections, consider starting with an Audiocom Superclock 4 upgrade.
I still think the SCD-1's SACD playback is the best for the money, maybe not the redbook playback but it is very difficult to beat the SCD-1 is SACD playback.
Paul,
Agree with Dgarretson about mods. The SCD-1 is a realy good player/transport that can be upgraded to a great player quite easily. The clock is always a good place to start because jitter, therefore noise, etc is lowered. Darker background always cleans things up a little more.
