RE: I Know it's New, But Anyone Listen to the Marantz SACD 30n Yet?

Posted by Sibelius on March 14, 2021 at 09:57:17:
The only reason I'm "concerned" is that I have many more than 12 SACD's in my collection. I don't find it that cumbersome to drop them in a player actually. I've tried ripping my cd's in the past, and I find that to be a pain. If I want simplicity I listen to streaming versions of what I want, someone has already done the work for me. I don't have the ears, or the setup (as the refrigerator on the other side of the wall kicks on!) to discern the differences in higher resolution formats. I asked below about ripping SACD's, but now having counted how many I have, and seen that I have to buy a certain disc player to be able to do it I don't think it's worth my time.

Nice looking player, but $1500 is pretty close to the $2500 for the Marantz, and the Marantz does lots more.
