Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well


I'm using Sony SCD555ES and wanna upgrade to a better one. For the range of USD10000, any good SACD player can do well at red book, which close to the grade of Wadia 861, Mark 390s, or Metronome T1-i Signature?

Wally_li: This next production run is pretty much sold out. I am hoping we will have another production run ready to ship in about three months.

Jposs: I do not think we will make the DACs accessible to other transports for SACD. However, they are usable with almost any other transport for CD through the AES/EBU connection
Jtinn,
I merely reported what Harry Pearson wrote in TAS about the 963. Apparently he was misinformed. So, are the EMM Labs own transports the only ones that will work with your DAC? Any plans to market a single unit player?
Hey Bruce: No problem. Harry may have been reporting on some early possibilities since it was the replacement for the SACD 1000.

As I stated earlier, any transport with an AES/EBU connection will work for CD processing, but not for SACD. Only the EMM Labs transport will output SACD.

Are you near SF? If so, come to HES and give it a listen in rooms 520 & 521.

Currently, we are not considering releasing a one box player.
I believe the SACD connection is proprietary because of the issues surrounding SACD copyright that haven't been resolved yet.
Perhaps Meitner would like to license out their technology to other manufacturers who could build a one box player???
