Both my Tri-Vista and DV-47 detect the presence of an SACD disk faster than the SCD-33ES and SCD-1 players that I used to own. I've never used a stopwatch on them, but I'd estimate 3-5 seconds for either. I think the newer generations of transports a just able to read a disk faster than the earlier ones. I don't know where Krell is getting their transports, but you can rest assured that it will be one of the newer ones from Sony, Philips or Pioneer.
Any SACD quick reading players out there.
I owned the first Sony 777 player and currently own a 333 changer. They did not and do not read the presence of an SACD disc very fast. I have read a few threads on this but are there currently any quicker readers out there as far as SACD players are concerned. I would like to know actual times for reading SACD discs and Redbook discs on your various players. Expecially if any of you have the new Krell unit. Thanks for your time, thoughts and readings. Please do not repond that I like the time to walk back to my seating area - BTHT.
