I don't know if 80 percent is the right figure esp. for the audiophools like those running around the asylum (I'd say I'm a bit atypical but 80 percent of my collection is vinyl with 10 percent sacd and 10 percent cd -- maybe its a generational thing). I can't really say about the cd playback of the ARC -- haven't heard it. However, I've got the accuphase dp100 transport and dp75v cd player (with sacd card) and I'd be suprised that the cd playback is so easily bested by the ARC. I've also got a MF Trivista sacd player and a Wadia 860se (heavily modded by GNSC) and the accuphase compares well with both on redbook (I still think that the wadia outdoes either the MF or the accuphase but the accuphase is reasonably close to the Wadia with the MF trailing behind on redbook).I'll try and give a listen to the ARC sometime -- sounds intriguing.
