Next Generation SACD Players


It seems that many companies are building SACD players: Krell, Music Fidelity, etc. Any insight into the technology? ex. Sony XA777ES uses multiple DAC's. Also, I saw a thread about a new Sony XA9000ES SACD player, is this true? What about Music Fidelity producing a non-TriVista SACD player?

We'll be coming up on third generation of SACD players yet we still don't have much of a selection to choose from. As such, Sony should concentrate on making Hybrid discs available at reasonable prices. This would encourage those interested in the technology to purchase both equipment to play such software and discs that are not completely useless in the other 99.9% of all of the other machines out there. I'd like to be able to enjoy the benefits of SACD but would hate having to buy two discs i.e. one for my SACD machine and one for everything else. Hybrid's would solve that problem and allow Sony to just make one disc that would cover both audiophiles, mass-market consumers and those that are somewhere in-between.

Other than that, just keep your eyes on Stereophile. They'll be the first to know about a new Musical Fidelity product. Sean
