As the owner of one, the SACD is good, marginally good, but good for the price. Redbook - not so hot. HOWEVER: invest in the mods available, and everything improves. For 335.00 dollars, SACDmods.com can turn this player into a very good Redbook performer. The difference before and after is huge. An added bonus is the video performance improves as well.
sony dvp-ns500v- how's the sound on redbook cd's?
I keep hearing that the SACD is great, but i have one crap load of regular old cd's and i was wondering what the performance of the sony on cd's is comparable to- does it compare with pricier cd-only players favorably? I'm replacing an old adcom gcd575- will i be dissapointed or pleasantly surprised?
