I don't know what you're talking about. I used a Sony 5400 SACD for years modified by Allen Wright, terrafirma clock. It only broke down in the power supply which could be easily fixed if I could get it to the right person. My best bet would have been Bill Thalman but he passed away recently. Thalman put in a new laser assembly for me, "new old stock," which he located in Japan. The Technics is a worthy successor to the Sony.

  It was the one of common complaints about several brands of SACD players back in the day.
  Especially with Sony players, IIRC. I owned two Sony SACD players, both of them screwed eventually up, became unable to read multi-layer SACD discs.

    I never had that problem with my 5400 nor with my current Technics model.

      You must be one of the lucky ones.
