Dear all, I have recently heard the new Sony SACD player in a local store. The sound seems very impressive with detailed and a lot of dynamic. I did not have much time to audition it thoroughly. Any comment from others
When playing SACD disks it is amaizing. As a CD player, it not as good as the competition. But until SACD disks are plenty and cheap, who cares? I only bought a CD player when I could no longer buy the LPs I wanted.
Yes. Very relaxed natural sound more like live music. But certainly not as dramatic difference as between cassette and cd was. Better than cd but not worth 5000.00. Honestly I must say that I have heard some cd players that were far behind the sony. My audio dealer who has been in the business 30 years felt the same.
This player when hooked up to top quality gear produces the closest thing to real I've ever heard. If this doesn''t revolutionize hi end audio nothing will. There ae cheaper players coming soon. Hopefully SACD will in fact become a standard. There is real danger it will go the route of Beta for those of you old enuf to remember that.
