oogins Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Who makes SACD players? I've seen them from Sony, Philips and Marantz.

jdm56 Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Accuphase comes to mind. Pioneer seems to be on the verge of producing SACD/DVD-A combo players, or at least they've shown some. ------------------ JDMcCall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 The SONY SCD-1 and its one great SACD player.Sound quality is fantastic and built quality puts to shame inferior products. The Pioneer DV-AX10 is also a superb machine.Compatible with all formats and built like a real tank. Accuphase digital is even more High-End and will come with a price tag most cant stomach. The Sony and the Pioneer are about 5 grand. The Marantz is also a great unit,costs a bot more around 7 grand. Cheaper SACD units can be found,the sound will remain great but the construction is paper like.I like my gear solid and with sound to match. I am very satisfied with the Pioneer and Sony products one day I will get a two piece Accuphase or Wadia front end.

GeorgeC Posted September 15, 2001 Share Posted September 15, 2001 Apex, which has a questionable record, is coming out with their model 7701 DVD player, a universal player that does SACD AND DVD-Audio (as well as Karaoke, HDCD, MP3, you name it). And J&R is expecting them in any day at $299! Circuit City and Best Buy and a bunch of other stores all carry Apex. If this unit gets good reviews when it comes out, it may be a heck of a deal. I think they're a newer company, and I hope their quality problems of the past are behind them now (Past reviews have been very mixed). I'm going to give them a chance, after all, this is the unit all the other guys should have come up months and months ago, and it would have saved consumers a whole lot of grief in this stupid format war.

TheEAR Posted September 16, 2001 Share Posted September 16, 2001 Apex The SACD will sound lesser to an HDCD on a Rotel! LOL TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
