SACD is definitely not moribund if you like classical, jazz or classick rock. Look at the Esoteric remasters, the Universal Japan SHM-SACD's, and the numerous releases on small labels! Even being pretty well resourced, I cannot afford to buy them all! Unfortunately, if your musical interest lies outside these genres, the pickings are quite slim.
Which makes more sense? - CD player vs SACD
Hi, I'm building a 2-channel hifi sysstem around my pair of Harbeth P7ES3. Now I'm using a very modest Philips CD player from 14 years ago.
I intend to upgrade my source in the near future - either a CD or SACD player. FYI, I have a collection of about 70 CDs and don't have any SACD of LPs. BTW, I do plan to get into the turntable in the future.
But I figure I'll need to get a decent CD/SACD player before I get into turntable.
What're your thoughts? Any good sounding CD or SACD player around $1K - new or used, that you can recommend?
Thanks.
