Resloution Audio Opus 21

I have owned a good SACD player and while some of the SACD recordings I owned were impressive on SACD the redbook on my SACD player always failed to compare with the OPUS 21. That said the best SACD recordings are better than the best redbook even on an OPUS 21. There is just very little of really good SACD recordings. I don't think the typical SACD recording on a good SACD player is generally as involving as the typical redbook recording on an OPUS 21.

Adam, I don't know how this turned into a SACD battle again. The answer is no, the RA Opus 21 does not play SACD's. The Opus 21 is a very good redbook cdp and as Glide3 mentions, even better with the GNSC mods. I, for one, am a fan of SACD's, and wouldn't consider a player that doesn't have this capability.

You may find this link helpful. Over 5000 SACD titles to choose from.

Cheers,

I also have tried SACD and left it behind due to the lack of music available (at least what I listen to). I have a Resolution Audio CD-50 which I find exceptional and can only imagine how much better the Opus 21 might be.

I think it is very hit and miss with SACD and of course there is limited availability of titles....I personally tried it and don't miss it one bit (no pun intended)

The opus is a very good player and with the GNSC mod even better

Muzikat, Is the sound quality of the Opus 21 greater then the advantages of SACD recording qualities? Aren't the recording in SACD superior to Red Book recordings?
Thanks for your help. Adam

No it does not.
