lo-end & hi-end SACD players sound the same ?


While the difference in redbook sound was night and day, I found very limited difference between the 60 dollar used SCD 595ce and the 25 times more expensive SCD-1 on two-channel SACD recordings. The latter was a bit tighter with clearer sound-stage when i listened very carefully, but that could be my imagination. (heard both players using Cary 2A3 amps and Martin Logan Spire CLX°.

Perhaps, this proves that I dont have the right to call myself an audiophile and that my ears are not discerning enough.

Any thoughts please?

You could make the same claim with regard to the minor differences between the Oppo DV-970HD and the Sony SCD-1. Your ears are discerning in that there is very little difference in audio reproduction but a substantial difference in present value.
