I guess I'm getting jaded about this pursuit after almost 35 years. It used to be about achieving significant gains in music reproduction to facilitate one's enjoyment of the music and enrich one's physical and emotional well being and world view. Now, for me at least, the marginal utility curve has flattened so much that advances in audiophile technology aren't improving the reaching of this goal for me. New technological toys seem to be created for their own sake and because we can rather than making a significant contribution to music appreciation and enjoyment. Getting on an endless and accelerating upgrade path like the PC business is not attractive to me. I have a life!

Needs to have multichannel capabilities to compete with highend DVDaudio players such as Pioneer Elite units

its worthless without dvd-a capability...no bucks until then or if and when sacd vanquishes dvd-a

Get real...a small stepup insound does not warrant any where near 3500 bucks. When the price gets to between 3 and 5 hundred then I will check it out..

Seeing how much manufacturers have leaned about building digital players it shouldn

La poca disponibilidad de discos , el costo por unidad de estos y sobre todo la incompatibilidad con los discos actuales son a mi entender las causas para no comprar de inmediato la nueva tecnologia de sacd . Las espectativas de un medio superior en fidelidad son altamente esperadas , pero primero debemos resolver las interrogativas.
