Good old 2ch versus multi-ch, what to do?


I currently have an OK DVD-A player but want to add SACD. Is happiness possible with 2ch SACD, so I could buy a nice 2ch machine with redbook upsampling, or do I need to go to a universal machine to get it all and multi-ch too? Thoughts, opinions, suggestions are all welcome.

So maybe the answer is not to invest in SACD just yet, but spend the cash on a really fine CDP with upsampling? I did listen to an Ayre CX-7 today and was very impressed. Of course, it was playing through a pair of Avant-Garde Duos, but I think this player would sound fine in most systems. Any thoughts?
