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?

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???
Does any one order or get the DCC2? The information from the distributor is that it (DCC2 or DAC2??) will only be available end of this year. I wonder if someone has one now.
