I agree with Rcprince, Sony is lowering the price and adding DVD to help force the format to the masses. They,and Phillips, stand to make a lot more money if this format wins the war. I have the 9000es and think it was a great deal.
SACD Players
SACD is now in the market with both players and discs avaliable. Several Audiogon members have purchased the players and have declared the improvement in digital sound. Currently we have for our SACD consideration two players from Sony (SCD-1 and SCD-777ES) and one player from Marantz (SA-1) with a Phillips player soon to come. Has anyone compared the players in home noting the differences in sound? If so what is your system and what differences did you hear between the players. Thanks, Doug
