New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

RE: My SACD Experience

Similar path here. I had an excellent Accuphase DP-65v that became my 'reference' CD player. The Cary 306/200 was also outstanding but the older Accuphase won by a slight margin for transparency.

I also had a high-end Denon universal player that handled SACD. Out of curiosity I started collecting SACDs but never dove in 100%. I came to realize that SACD was 'different' but not necessarily better than quality CDs for my needs.

I ripped my CD collection quite a while ago and set up a music server + DAC. I additionally bought some 'hi-res' downloads. I started streaming Tidal and Qobuz a couple years ago making the CD collection and even the ripped CD files redundant.

Sold the Accuphase CDP, got rid of my CDs, gave away 95% of my LPs. I now stream most of my music. I have no desire to "own" my music as I can't take it with me to the grave.
