Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Yes, however..

As usual I'm not great at making myself clear :)

I was actually responding/reacting to Abe's sentences: "How would the consumer feel if his old CD's sounded as good as (or so very close to) the sound of his SACD's? He would feel like his investment in SACD was a waste."

I don't believe that this is the case and was citing my reasons.

Let me also say that I disagree with his implication that the SACD players are a compromise for CD. However I really didn't want to gather/quote facts and figures to support my opinion on this issue so I let it pass.

Heck while I'm at it: When I first got my SACD player I realized that all of my CD's did have a lot of glare and harshness. This caused my to upgrade essentially all of my equipment in a quest for the better sound that SACD showed me was possible. To my surprise I now find my CDs to be much more pleasant to listen to, no matter whether I use my SACD player or my Jukeboxes and P-3A. I however still find my SACD's less fatiguing as well as the differences you quoted above.

Perhaps this clarifies my opinion/position/feelings :)
