New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

That sounds about right...

...since I was told that the disc clamping system on the DV-60 had a metal puck.

The transport has worked very well while here...clean and positive action, and very quiet in operation...and the remote is terrific. An OEM price of $600 for high-end use isn't too bad...its action was clean and positive...though I don't doubt that a metal tray would probably have more appeal for 'philes. An additional $200 at the OEM level is pretty spendy by the time it gets to MSRP, however.

I know that EMM Labs isn't using Teac Esoteric engine in my CDSD SE or in the CDSA SE. Personally, I prefer the drive in the DV-60 to the CDSD SE...a metal tray would be more attractive ergonomically, though. (I still miss my CD-12. Wish that Linn would do an SACD-12.)

The drive in the Marantz SA-7S1 is also very nice: quick on the TOC read-up, clean action, and nice ergonomics on the remote. Don't know the price on that one.

All the best,

david
