If you`re doing the comparison using the Sony 9000ES, is it surprising that a machine manufactured by the developers of SACD to principally showcase SACD should ensure SACD playback was foremost, hence better than any DVD audio format?You prefer SACD, others prefer DVD - if SACD was objectively `better` rather than being simply subjectively prefered, the backers of SACD wouldn`t be so reticent in recording directly comparable versions of both; as it is the mixing is usually so different as to make comparisons useless - the Telarc 1812 being a case in point.
Yesterday I once again listened to a friend`s 777ES in his own system and whilst I could easily live with it`s presentation there`s no way I`d say it`s more like `live` than well implemented PCM, and in fact I`ve just ordered a Toshiba SD-510E DVD/DVD-A player rather than the similarly priced Sony DVP-NS700V DVD/SACD.
It`s all well and good even if 80% of inmates express a strong preference for SACD and nobody should have any problem with this - even the pro-DVD-A crowd - but when the pro-SACD crowd state as a fact that SACD is superior and that any deviation from this mantra is the result of the poster`s hearing/intelligence, all it does is make them look so rabidly biased as to be illogical and unworthy of ever being takn seriously again.Best Regards,
