SACD/DVD Audio Combi Players?


What happened to the combi players that were supposed to be introduced? Wouldn't it be nice to buy a piece of electronic equipment that's not obsolete by the time you open the box? Since there is no way I'll be able to wait...what is the best SACD Player out there?

I can not reveal my sources or which manufactures but there will be combi players at the end of the year. A couple of companies will be showing them at CEDIA. But expect them to be expensive. I think it will be cheaper to buy two separate player for each format.
best i've heard is the accuphase dp-100/dc-101 combo. good news is: you can upgrade the dac to accept dvd input (tho the dp-100 won't play 'em). bad news is: the pair will set you back $28k.
Hi SG69. As a guy who was very excited about these new formats, I've decided to let software dictate when I buy any hardware that's software dependent. For now, I buy my CD's and try to get the best sound out of my Cd player and DAC because no matter what format comes to the front, you're only as good as the software available. I'm not into Classical or Opera but it seems that's most of the titles that they offer for SACD at least. Take this time to ponder what tweeks you might be able to make now to make your hard earned and cherished CD collection sound better in the mean time.
