Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well


I'm using Sony SCD555ES and wanna upgrade to a better one. For the range of USD10000, any good SACD player can do well at red book, which close to the grade of Wadia 861, Mark 390s, or Metronome T1-i Signature?

Why not just pick up a good redbook CDP and wait for the dust to settle on this DSD gear.

IMO, there aren't enough true DSD SACDs to justify the cost
of the EMM equipment at this time.

If more major recording studios start using the EMM Labs gear, other manufacturers will be pushed into licensing the EMM Labs chip set and we'll see lower cost gear.

If you want more from your current system, upgrade your speakers or your amp.
Jtinn- rich guys/dealers like you can afford to spend $10K + to listen to a couple of dozen EMM Labs DSD SACDs.
The rest of us we'll have to wait for the tickle down effect to take place....need I go on.
Wally- Mahalo nui loa. I wish you all the best in your
quest for the best.

Tireguy- Yes, it's about the money, but based on your past
posts/system, and Jtinn's being a dealer, I'll reserve my judgement on the EMM Labs' redbook performance until I hear one.
Jtinn- thanks for taking the time to look at my system.

Please don't try and use Hawaiian phases.
