New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I disagree

>> Once you get up into the SACD/Universal machines with excellent transports, - like the high dollar Esoteric, the Ayre, the APL, Audio Aero, and Meitner: you hear less of a difference between the SACD layer and the CD layer.<<

My Ayre is an excellent CD player. Contrary to your statement, there is a marked difference between Redbook and SACD on my player.

I have also listened to other "high dollar" players in my system, and have found that most of them also exhibit a noticeable difference between Redbook and SACD. If it were not so, then SACD players and SACD discs would be useless.

If your player obscures the differences between Redbook and SACD as much as you are implying, and if you are happy with your player, perhaps you should stick to Redbook. It's generally cheaper and there is indeed a wider selection of geezer/boomer rock.
