The sound of SACD is too smooth in playback much of the time. like all the air you get with Lp is missing. The sound comes not from a room. but out of empty space. And i do not like it.
I own a Sony SCD777ES, and two other SACD players, I use them only for CD playback.
So if you buy a SACD player, remember you can still always use it for CD playback anyway.
I own say a few dozen SACD/CD discs... and I always play the CD portion.
Follow Ups:
With the output section and clocking that both jazzman and I have, CDs on our players sound better than SACDs prior to the retrofits. So good, in fact, that regardless of bit depth, they sound hi rez to me.
SACD does ot have the grain of cd and more information.\
Obviously a decent machine is needed, a Sony 5400 ES is excellent
at its price point.
I finally got a great redbook DAC and just play the CD layers also. So, don't bother with an entry level SACD player.
