Has anybody seen reviews, got comments on this expensive piece of machinery? Am considering SACD player and relinquishing my Sonic Frontiers

It uses the same transport, weighs the same, and seems to only lack the balanced outputs.

The machines are very similar outside of that. That being said, I did hear a difference when I auditioned the 2 machines and neither one was very well broken in. Since i bought my SCD-1, it has blossomed into quite a wonderful machine on Redbook and SACD is leaps and bounds better. Gary.
