There's 5000 titles available half of which is classic the other jazz and some popular.
Now Sony has 3 decks one which stores 400 disc's and claims to play video CD and sacd.
price $399 PS sacd is in stereo only.

The other unit is for sacd ,cd, dvd singles with audio output for sacd in 6 channel . price 3999$


Something doesn't jive here.

I tried the whole sacd hoopla years ago, but for very cheap. I used a pioneer 563a universal player


The huge lack of popular music back turned me off..... only so much classical and jazz... but i did manage to try new things, but i like rock ,, and it is very lacking the genres I like....

but others have found satisfaction in the format....


I am moving away form any spinning disk formats and have been compiling and ripping all my disk to a HD.


With downloaded music becoming the norm and hi-rez tracks out there available, I think you will see decline in time to cd's and sacd's,, but it was said of that about the LP when cd's came out,, but it has had a huge resurgence too... who reallys knows.... time will play it out in the end...





I still have a ways to go......



later...

I have a low end Sony DVD/CD/SACD thing a few SACD discs. The problem I find is that the SACD stream is not available on the digital out, so you're stuck with the Sony DAC and analog circuits.

May have to hack into it some day and hijack the DSD stream. But as Oface says, moving to all tracks on the compuer is the way to go. Going that way myself.

Ditto. Though to it's credit, my Sony DVD/SACD/CDR is still the pick of my humble array of drive/DAC options, signifigantly so.

I belong to the hard drive library club too. CDs get ripped then go to the truck.

Edit:
That's the same truck that just got rear-ended an hour ago. Saw it coming but couldn't get out of the way. Smacked me hard enough to knock the mirror off my windsheild. Totaled the litlle car that hit me, only got my rear bumper (no one hurt). Biggest drag was I learned my DL expired last month at the expense of a ticket...

Oh- that sux! Glad you're OK, as well as the truck.

Sort of... he let me call a friend to drive me and my truck the 2 miles home instead of having it towed.

Been scratching my head ever since on how I'm gonna get to the license bureau tomorrow without risking another ticket (or getting fired)...

Suggest everyone takes a minute to check your license.
