the best SA-CD player is the Sony TA-E 9000ES but it is very expensive
Some Marantz SA 11, 15 or 17 are brilliant too but rare now/and or expensive on the second market.
Marantz is about to put on the market some new SA-CD in september

As I understand it,the Sony TA-E 9000ES is not a SA-CD player but a pre-amp.Here is one link to it : [jeffn.com]
There are Marantz players much more advanced than the Sony products.There are Marantz SA-CD players which are not far under $7,000 [us.marantz.com] but,again these SA-CD only players cannot even pass the DSD signal because they don't have the connections needed to do so.

Yes, You're right ! I dont wanna offend somebody. F u c k i n Hungarian style.
For me are high resolution and three dimensionality very important in music. And this can an SACD with a good equipment. The most of the SACD's from the Stones series from Mr. Klein have not a phenomenal sound. I can hear the greatest differnce between standard and SACD versionen in case of Beggars Banquet. The slide from Brian in No Exp is really mind blowing. Satanic is significantly better on SACD too.When you hear Gomper or 2000 men, you are really in an "another land" ...

CAN YOU CLARIFY THIS ? YOU MEAN THE MARANTZ COULD NOT PLAY PROPERLY THE DSD ABKCO 2002 ?

If you really care passionately about music all you need is a good Stones album and a cheap little stereo. If you only care about levels, frequencies, dynamic ranges etc, all you need is to get a life.
Very true. Many "audiophiles" get so obsessed with the kit that they forget what it's for.
The best HiFi is simply that which makes music more enjoyable and rewarding to listen to. Follow that rule and the rest looks after itself ;^).

If you guys like a little "3-dimensional sound", you should try TOUP:s series of 5.1 DTS editions of Stones records:
[www.toupltd.com]
No need for a SACD-player, just a regular DVD-player and receiver that can handle DTS, and a set of surroundspeakers. I promise you, it will be a revelation, you will hear things you never heard before.
This is what the Stones SACD:s would have sounded like if they were done in 5.1.
The following titles are available "out there":
Sticky Fingers 5.1 DTS
Through The Past Darkly 5.1 DTS
Let It Bleed 5.1 DTS
Beggars' Banquet 5.1 DTS

It is very easy to burn yourself DTS records
You create 5 mono files with DTS SURCODE ENCODER and you burn a DTS cd.
I did for Dirty work.
It is nice to listen to it in 5.1.
Maybe toupltd does it better with professional tools..

Theif in the Night, I understand that DSD is converted using the HDMI link. BUT I do not use it. To listen to SA-CD I only use the analogue outputs (RCA) and however I read the SA-CD layer, no ?

I do not use the optical or dig coax outputs. So what's the point with the DSD lost trough digital outputs ?

I agree.
BUT SA-CD and now SHM cd's offer a better sound obviously.
The main thing is fidelity. Is your system or not reproducing the way it should be ?
SA-CD can be in stereo (we are not necessarely talking about multichannel system) but a brilliant one.
