Interestingly, I noticed tonight that over at MDT (a leading UK classical music specialist), on their pre-order chart of all new classical CDs for sale, the top 3 sellers (for pre-orders) are all SACDs. Seems SACD has carved an impressive niche in the classical market. Nor sure what the problem is with your machine ... but I sometimes clean the laser on mine, and that usually helps. I wouldn't bother ripping your SACDs: downloads as a format are pretty much dead, with the market shifting to either physical format for collectors, or streaming for instantaneous (throwaway) consumption.
