Tunenut,I think my observation is correct, and not hyperbolic as you would have it.
If you don't mind me saying so, its revealing that you have chosen to invest so heavily in SACD software - at $15 (usally they're about $19-$22) a pop that would be about $15k according to your more than 1000 SACDs in your collection - yet you don't hear much of a difference especially given that SACD sofware is generally more expensive than CD. You are clearly a man of considerable means to afford $15k on software that does not particularly impress him over an alternative (CD) that would cost much less.
Incidentally the newest generation of SACD players are better than the first generation. Although the SCD-1 is built extremely well and is an excellent transport, my Denon 3910 sounds better. I have a friend I visit regularly who owns the SCD-1.
The Reimyo CD player you mention costs the price of a small car. As a CD player I have no doubt it sounds very good, but compared to SACD, I doubt it sounds better. Besides, my SACD player is $1,600. Perhaps you may feel that this is too low cost to meet the definition of an 'audiophile' class player?
