CD v. SACD

Carefully read the post.
Are other CD Players significantly bette at CD Playback.
No where is SACD mentioned.
Point being you will find significantly better CD player at half the amount of the SONY which is a Horrible CD player.

At this point stick to a CD player.

DVD A may just win this battle in the end. You can play DVD A in any DVD player. Cant do that with SACD.

Just got the Lindemann. Great sacd and cd playback.

Natalie,I understand you hate Sony and have an opinion regarding their players, but don't spread false information. No you cannot play the DVDA track on anything other than a DVDA player. You can play any of the lower resolution tracks(Dolby,DTS,etc.), but you cannot play DVDA on anything other than a DVDA player; period. The same holds true for SACD. SACD's(non-hybrid), can only be played on SACD players but hybrids can be played on any SACD player, CD player and DVD player(compatable with Redbook). That puts hybrid SACD's in ten times(at least) the number of players DVDA would be compatable with. Gary.

Yes the DVD A track will only play in a DVD A player the other will play on anything. How many Dual layer SACD are availabe. Last trip to Bestbuy and all they had was single layer.
And to make maters worse SONY Canada is not supporting Dual layer Format. That tell me a whole lot about how Sony is commited to the format.

One other thought. Why do we not get Sony A+ gear in North America. Why do we get what the Asian market wont put up with in terms of Sonics.

Maybe because "we" whine too much about the technology not being perfected instead of letting Sony release it and see what needs to be improved from an end-users perspective! Why would they stick a lot more money into a format that is regularly denigrated by people who know little or nothing about it???
