Wadia, Krell or Sony SACD

Depends on what your main sources are. If you have a decent CD collection then go for the Wadia. I wouldn't count on SACD as a format delivering whatever music or musicians you want to listen to. It will take years if ever that you get what you want on any other format than CD.
Good luck!

I have a Sony SCD-1, and live in San Antonio. You are more than welcome to come listen to it. For comparison, you can also listen to a Resolution Audio Opus 21 my brother has. If you are interested, send me an email.

Galen is Excellent and in San Antonio, I purchased my Gamut CD1R from him and I've done business with him for the past 5 years. If I didn't buy the Gamut I would have bought the Wadia. I have a large Red book Collection. I listened to the Sony 777ES and wasn't impressed on red book.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with the others on their comments about the Sony scd777es. I recently bought one and now I'm searching for a good DAC for redbook play. This isn't all bad since I can use the Sony as a good transport for CD's for now and the SACD playback is good. With a few SACD's in particular, the Sony was the best I've ever heard, not that I'm the most experienced audiophile around. But you might have noticed their aren't too many SACD titles around yet. This format confusion is really kind of annoying.
