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.

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.

The DVP-S9000ES had that problem, but mine never did, but sold it before it could, I had read many times of the issue. My current NAD Master M5 does not have the problem, and does read faster the the Sony DVP-S9000ES.
