Dumb Question


Recently I have been playing and buying more SACD.s than CD because I think they sound better. I am using an Oppo 205 to play the SACD’s and would like to up-grade from the 205, which was only a $1300.00 player when I bought it. It seems like Esoteric keeps coming up as one of the better SACD players, however at pricing which starts at $12,000 for their lower line player. Will their players be an up-grade over the Oppo and which model do you recommend. I am big into streaming as well,  but think the SACD is superb. Thanks for any feedback. Sam

I’m absolutely certain an $18 used Samsung player is just as good as your OPPO. lol. I just shake my head at this place any more...send me a pm if you’d like some advice. I’m a big SACD fan, and have gone throgh many players over the years. Some of the posters on this site simply don’t know what they’re talking about, but they’ll argue until they’re blue in the face. Ridiculous. Btw, the Sony XA5400es is a good one. Not on Esoteric's level, but a good player for sure.

There are no dumb questions here — ever — so don’t ever say that. There are, however, dumb people here of which I may be one. But that’s a story for another day. Welcome Sam!!! And keep the good — and clearly not dumb — questions coming! You’re what we’re all here for IMHO. U are the good and the best of us here, and u are all what this site is all about. I learn from you and your questions. So u keep on asking away because u make me smarter.  And that’s a big ask truth be told.
