In Reply to: Get a SACD player with better CD playback than your current player posted by Stephen on February 21, 2002 at 14:36:40:
...to a used Rotel RCD-971 for the time being. I am giving SACD, and my finances, another year or two. HDCD is not heavily promoted; a lot of HDCD discs do not have huge HDCD labels all over them. I did not realize I had so many HDCD's until I got a HDCD player that indicates HDCD decoding is in use.My point being, I want to wait and see how widely SACD is accepted, and how heavily it gets promoted. If it remains low-key and considered "audiophile-only" territory, disc prices will probably stay well over the $20 mark. If you are on a limited budget, I would get a good redbook cdp for the time being.
