Strangely enough, I find myself owning a SACD player in 2007

Never expected it, but there was the SACD logo on my Sony PS/3! And since I'll likely get it hooked up to a fancy new multichannel sound system that can process such audio, and the SFSO is putting out new music in that format, I think I'll give it a go; what the heck!

I plan on buying ANOTHER today. - Duilawyer 13:25:21 09/01/07 (2)
Because they all fail. Like all disc drives. And I have 400 or so hi-rez discs that I want to be able to listen to at maximum sound quality. If there is no difference, so what?'. IF there is, I got the benefit. I want to make sure I always get the best possible (within my budget).

  I expect I'll have to do this next time my (BTW, very first) 777ES craps out. I might even hot-rod to the latest mods (assuming I can still get it modded). I plan on having that player outlast me.

  I wish you luck. I have many but most are just low budget but those do work fine. The sound quality of course isn't going to be like my XA777ES but they don't give problems like that player does! :)
  
  Get the latest Marantz. That one is suppose to be beyond one's wildest dreams for sound! :)
Unless I'm mistaken, you'll only be able to get 2-channel SACD from the PS3's two (2) analog outputs. - oscar 22:23:28 08/31/07 (1)
Unless there is some SACD digital audio standard supported by the PS3 which allows it to pass 5.1 SACD over coax/optical/HDMI to an appropriately equipped receiver ??????
- Pretty Sure You Can Get 5.1 For SACD Over HDMI For PS3 - Robertc88 03:37:26 09/01/07 (0)
  But I believe there still is the issue for conversion from DSD to PCM.
