Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio?


Do I understand there is a new Sony player for a reasonable price? Has anyone auditioned or purchased this unit? I heard the $5000 one and thought it looked and sounded great but found the price tag a bit steep given the number of titles available. I would love advice from any gurus on this format

Great observation jademo,I just purchased new system? KRELL AMP THETA CASA NOVA .GENESIS APM 1 AND ES 9000. THE FORMAT WILL BE APPROVED AND SUCCESSFUL .YOU MAY ASK WHY ? SUPERIOR SOUND AND DEEP POCKETS BY SONY.WELL WORTH THE $$.
koloft,

don't get me wrong - i don't disagree w/ewe about the superior sound & deep pockets by sony. but these facts alone don't ensure the success of this medium. betamax was far superior to its competition, & the same deep pockets backed it. mebbe not as deep as today, but proportionally, not much different.

Hi, Simontju, could you tell us how to get rid of the 50 KHz low pass filter??? Thanks, Steve
I am an oldtime Audio magazine subscriber who got switched to Sound + Vision (ugh!) after its demise. The latest issue has a very insightful interview with Neil Young. He talks about digital/analog and CDvsSACDvsDVD-A. Please no comments on the magazine or its contents until you read the article. Probably the only article ever in this magazine's history worth reading. You will not be disappointed. You may not agree with Neil but you will not be disappointed. Neil is to the point and very pointed. I will not spoil you with the contents. Buy it read it then comment. Have a Rave Up kind of day!!
Well Shubert, you got me interested, though it will be embarassing buying that mag. I know old Neil is on record (pun not intended) as saying "digital sucks", so I'm interested in how he views its latest incarnations.
