Do SACD player start up slower

I did not actually time it.. so maybe I'm off. This was with the Shanling T200 that I was looking at in one of the local shops. It also did just as described above and stoped once it read the content so you had to wait while the read process was going on. The waiting is what made it seem like a long time. This was with an SACD..I'll have to try it for redbook. it actually uses the Sony KHM-2334AAA drive.

What's 20-35 seconds longer to cue up a cd as long as the player is functioning properly? If it takes that long to hear the best possible sound, so be it with pleasure! My Marantz 8300 takes 10-20 seconds or so. I've spent much more than that on this thread! It sill beats the 20 seconds to 2 minutes prepping vinyl for play. Please all enjoy the music!

Yes my Sony 777 takse a long time. I enjoy it. It gives me time to load the disc, sit down, relax.... One of it's fine features!

All of the following 4 units have spent auditoning time in my rack. My SCD-1 was the slow......est for the TOS to load, you could watch the leaves on the tree's go thru a change color before the first track would play! The Sony scd-333/555 5 disc changers are the fastest of the Sony ES Sacd stable. The Philips Sacd-1000 was the fastest, yet sound quality wise it wasn't up to par w/ the Sony's.

I just timed my sony XA777es for you. With tray open it took 2 seconds for the tray to close and 10 more seconds for play to begin.
