Do SACD player start up slower


I've noticed that one of the SACD players I'm looking at takes maybe 30-45 seconds to "read the disk content" Is this common to the format? The CDP uses a Sony drive so I would think this would be common to any player that uses a sony drive..

Many of the sacd drives do take some time to read the toc and recognize if the disc is a cd or sacd... Many of the newer models are much faster than the 30-45 seconds... sounds like the Sony scd1/777es transport that was so slow. I had a Sony 9000es which was more like 10-15 seconds.
