New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Re: I must admit, I'm tempted to buy one!

it's just the latest in a set of players i designed and built for myself. the first one was an abject failure, the second one was pretty good, but i had to use fans to keep it cool.

for my third one, i was determined not to use fans so i deliberately chose components that didn't consume as much power. but it still runs pretty hot, like a little bar heater, and i've had one or two failures that may or may not be heat related. i have to do some more investigation - i replaced the memory with a much better speced one, and it seems better behaved, but it crashed on me yesterday whilst playing a CD.

i hate to admit it, but i think i built my own incarnation of the SACD1000 (a Philips player known for failure due to heat)!
