While Bomarc may ultimately be the most correct, as the other posters have mentioned there are indeed separate laser assemblies for SACD and CD, as well as pcm chips for the CD DAC, and they will break in separately even though the analog stage breaks in no matter whether it's fed a CD or SACD signal.
SACD/CD functions breaking in separatly?
I have recently purchased a marantz sa-14. Thus far, I am very delighted with both sacd and cd play back. However, I am somewhat puzzled by the fact that both the sacd and cd functions seem to be breaking in independantly. Does anyone have a hypothesis as to why one doesn't complement the other?
