for the SA-11S1
Had this player for two months, the sound gets better each and every day. I added it to my vintage system,see below. It took what I thought was a good system, but missing something to a whole new level of audio nirvana. One source change can really make a difference. My old cds all sound better,more bass, better sound stage,more like music. Buy it you will like it. Sacd's are yet another level of audio nirvana, depending on the Sacd. Most Rca living stereo sacd are very good and sound even better than redbook or same performances.Brass & cymbals really sound like music. This player makes music sound like music.Takes time to break in ~100 hrs.(yes thought break in was a myth, but it is not for this player
Product Weakness: there is some drive noise on sacd, it diminishes the further you get into the disk. You will not hear it over the music, but will between tracks. Second unit, both have the problem Product Strengths: make most cds sound better , same for sacds
