I've been hearing and reading all I can about this player during this last year. I have a 6005 right now and it's a nice player but not as good as my analog rig (10k) so it's not a fair comparison. Elizabeth mentioned that her SA-10 is better than her analog. I will be comparing the 2 SACD players side by side. I have at least 3 CD's in which I have duplicates. I'm fascinated about how the circuitry upsamples to DSD SACD. Well not exactly but somehow an improvement over Redbook CD. I have a 2" thick maple block coming in the same day for it. It's going to be a long weekend. I know it can't work miracles on all CD's. If there is jitter in the recording then supposedly you will never get that out. Speak up if I'm wrong about that.
Thanks! for sharing some of your fave discs. Are you playing single-layer SACD titles as well? I would be interested in reading about comparisons between SL and Hybrid (cd plus sacd layer) selections.
I am of an opinion that many hybrid layer CD portion of SACD are also BETTER MASTERED than the previous generation plain CD.I have no proof, but seems that way to me. And I am listening to CDs 99.9% of the time.(I own 2,600 CDs, and maybe 10 SACD! (8 of which are hybrid) I own two really early SACD which have no CD layer.
