Simon, I know what you mean!! This is part of the reason that I have not jumped into the High Rez Digital arena. Although I do not have a deep underatanding of PCM and digital I understand enough (probably enough to be dangerous)to know that there are some issues that are being discussed that put a dark cloud over the whole discussion on the two formats. I listened to SACD at the Chicago Hi-Fi Show two years ago and was impressed enough to be ready to spend th cash then. Now I am waiting. It appears to me as though SACD has the lead. There are more music titles and players on the market, I continue to see more Audiogon members raving over SACD and most of the Audio reviewers now list a SACD player as a part of their "reference system". I truly hope someone can shed some light on the more technical aspects of the SACD format. I started the thread in hopes of getting two things: (1.) Actual side-by-side comparisons of different players by people that have bought and (2.) Some detailed discussions on the technical aspects as well as mods. As I said in a previous post maybe, hopefully Myles as well as others will continue to post Thanks Gang, Doug
SACD Players
SACD is now in the market with both players and discs avaliable. Several Audiogon members have purchased the players and have declared the improvement in digital sound. Currently we have for our SACD consideration two players from Sony (SCD-1 and SCD-777ES) and one player from Marantz (SA-1) with a Phillips player soon to come. Has anyone compared the players in home noting the differences in sound? If so what is your system and what differences did you hear between the players. Thanks, Doug
