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.
