I think you want a "Universal" player. With a SACD player the PCM D/A may be a second-rate afterthought. If you have a player with DVDA capability this means that you have an up-to-date 24 bit D/A that can be run up to 196KHz, and that can't hurt CDs.
New cd player-- or should I get SACD?
My family has large CD collection and old Sony cd changer. We agree it sounds digital.
Looking for new digital medium player for my room. There are 1000s of recommendations on Audiogon, I can't listen/try all.
Analog sounding (non-digital) for classical music (non-opera).
Should I get SACD player? Budget is $2000 for digital player.
My question is, is it worth it to search for a cd player, or should I skip to SACD? Some said SACD players don't do redbook well. Should I get separate CD and SACD players, or are there units which do both well? I am interested in playing both.
