New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

SA-14 vs FMJ CD23

I only heard the Arcam for about 2 hours comparing it with a just-out-of-the-box SA-14. I liked the Arcam but it wasn't in the same league as the SA-14 playing SACDs. I still continue to re-evaluate my SA-14 as I make improvements to my system. As for resolution, I'm beginning to wonder whether I've got too much now!

An option I may consider is to add an external DAC together with more forgiving ICs to rescue some of my CDs, while using the more transparent ICs just for SACD. This is probably the best of both worlds ... but I feel no imperative to fiddle at the moment. I buy very few CDs now and consider them poor value given the sound I can get on SACD.
