New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

You just un-sold me on the Oppo

I had an XA777ES for five years (including one trip to Sony Laredo after which it sounded about as good as it was going to sound). When I discovered that my Raysonic CD128 sounded as good playing the CD layer of hybrid SACDs as the Sony did playing the SACD layer, I sold the Sony.

I picked up an Oppo 980H as a stop-gap SACD player (for single-layer discs). It was okay but no world-beater (at $169, how could it be?). I was hoping that the new Oppo might fill the bill. So much for that, if it can't even outperform the Sony for refinement, liquidity, and slam.
