Re: I am a fan of SACD but...

Tunenut,

I believe this is a forum to discuss topics concerning digital, which is what I am doing. I hope I did not offend anyone and it was certainly not my purpose. A couple of statements you make leave no doubt that you feel I'm wasting time and space with this topic or I don't have the experience required to voice an opinion or ask a question.

I don't believe I was being melodramatic in the premise that SACD is far superior to redbook in terms of sound quality. I felt compelled to start this thread because I feel strongly that SACD as a format has been swept neatly under the carpet and I was trying to get other peoples feelings on this. Sorry it bothers you so much. Perhaps you have invested in a very expensive CD player and it is painful to think that such an investment could be bested by a run of the mill $1,600 player?

Yes I have heard several very expensive CD players and Transport DAC combos (at least expensive in my estimation) some of which I thought to be excellent, and you could have ased me this before suggesting that I am making a statement when I don't know what I'm talking about - in other words you are misdirected in your attempt to make me look like a fool. Attempting ridicule as a form of debate is uncalled for.

The fact remains that the SACD format is superior to redbook CD in terms of sound quality. The question is why has SACD been labeled a 'dead' format and why have so many articles I've read in the audio press clearly attempted to paint a picture of a technology not worth investing in?
