Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ?
Wait 2 years and that same 5 grand will buy you 10x the player of the SCD-1. I know you can't wait forever but there will be many changes and new players (if the format is a hit)to choose from. 
Absolute Best DVD Player?
Ayre DVD-1. Awesome unit but potentially (actually definitely but in glorious fashion) breaks the budget depending on installed options. Rick you're question is a tricky one. From what I've seen it is a matter of trade offs. For really good sound ... 
HDCD , 24/96--mutually exclusive
I did notice in the Sterephile review of the MSB link dac III with upsampling that you have to flip a toggle on the back of the unit to engage either HDCD or the upsampling mode but not both. I have many HDCD discs but not a HDCD player. I have be...

Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ?
Wait till you see the outcome reverend Joe. Remember all the folks who bought a Sony Betamax because it was superior to VHS? That is what I suspect will happen. This is a software driven race. Notice Sony has a few new classical releases in CD, bu...

Most overpriced audio component made
Check out the cover of Feb Sterophile. The Accuphase SACD transport and separate digital processor. Yeah, I going to run right out and spend 28K on the combo when the format may never get off the ground. Now that's overpriced! I wouldn't mind part... 
Wha'choo lookin' at?
Angela, the next thing we need to get the Audiogone folks hip on is HTML in the audiochathouse! Then along with our discussions we could include pics of our systems, etc. Now wouldn't that be cool! I promise though, when I get it done I will get y...
