some hybrid SACD do not play?


I have heard a complaint about a few of the top rated SACD players from Marantz and Sony, that they do not play some hybrid SACDs. Can anyone confirm this? I would be very annoyed if I bought one of these players and it couldn't play some of my SACDs.

i've owned three sacd players and the esoteric I own now ithe first to play all of my sacds without any issues. the philips dvd963sa and marantz sa8260 both had difficulty with some discs, although there was it was disc-specific not type specific. the miles sketeches of spain and beck's sea change were two that would never play consistently until I got this player. go figure.
Kr4: I believe I owned the SCD-S9000ES stereo-only SACD/DVD player. I sent to Sony for a rumored firmware fix but no one there (was looked at by a Sony engineer not just a garden variety tech) could make it work with ALL SACDs.

First, there is no SCD-S9000ES model, afaik. Second, both the SCD-XA9000ES (which I still have) and the DVP-S9000ES are multichannel players.

OK. Just trying to find out which model you were referring to since that is not what you typed before.
