Happy Friday! All

I would like to see you revive your SCD-1 player. It is quite nice to have a dedicated CD and SACD player.  Hope that you are well and looking forward to the fast-approaching holiday season.

Happy Listening!

@jafant  Are you considering any streaming device for Qobuz or Tidal in the future or are you going to stick to your Accuphase CD player ?

jafant - I bought the SCD-1 because it is an iconic product, it had been Thiel Audio's, and it had been upgraded. The few discs I heard on it were wonderous. I'll keep it until I get PS Audio's new PerfectWave player early 2021 and ascertain it does everything I need. The Sony machine is devoid of soft source inputs, which are becoming commonplace these days.

@tomthiel, while I truly appreciate many of PS Audio's approaches to their DACs, like the use of updateable FPGA's and I2S connections, some of there digital products measurements can give cause to pause.:
