CD vs SACD in STEREO

HDCD sound great! Too bad that also failed.

@mark200mph As mentioned, no separate DAC available for real 5.1 SACD. 

Anyone know of a good placed to buy SACD's other than Discogs or Music Direct?

There seems to be such a limited supply of them.  I have a Cambridge CXUHD player that has been used approximately five times and has been boxed up for years.  They have no DAC in them and will play SACD's, but you can't get the DSD stream out unless you have something such as the D.BOB that will put it into a DAC with an I2S input.

Sony really made this way too difficult in my opinion.  I mean SACD sounds, good, but in my opinion, it's not night and day difference between good Redbook CD's, but I'd prefer to go the SACD route if it were more convenient.  I'm not interested in ripping them to files.

Thanks

What about the marantz new av 10 with 10 separate dacs in it.dont know if that will work but worth a try.it has xlr out for each channel and dsp for each sub. There is a nitch you could develop. Enjoy the experiments. 

Well I just learned a TON about SACDs that I never knew: great thread!!!
I feel like I could figure this out if I thought it thru and crunched numbers, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Can streamer companies deliver SACD content over the webs to a streamer/DAC that can handle DSD?  Is that entirely too much data?
