http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/dvda/messages/3940.htm*My point with Kuma was that she bought a crappy Sony SACD player and ran it within a very nice system and felt that SACD lacked lower level dynamics and didn't cut the mustard, in general, against DVDA.*
I wouldn't do that, Chris. My impression for SACD remains as i stated even with stock sony SCD-1 and Accuphase two box player ( DV-85 gets bit better actually )
Just like anything else, I am probably reacting more to their *house sound* than the format difference, that's possible. Cuz, whether NS500 or SCD-1, their basic characteristics on SACD playback sorta stayed in the same neighborhood. that's why i'm curious to hear Krell's SACD player. As far as their bass goes, what i meant by bass *dynamics* is that not how much it goes down, it's about how they deliver.
I've given up on SACD for time being because of the lack of software titles I am interested in.
BTW, DVD-A player/processor used were Meridian 568.2/598 and 800v3./861
Aren't they sort of the same ball park as sony scd-1 or Accuphase? no?
