New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Re: Beware new McIntosh MCD 201.

I bought this unit and have had no problems with it. I heard some rumors of the problems you mentioned, and just to be safe, I got a firmware upgrade from McIntosh. The only isue I had was a delay between songs on SACD playback (kind of like what an iPod does) but the firmware resolved that issue. No skipping or freezing issues at all.

Again, I had heard that there were some issues with the earliest players, but McIntosh is EXTREMELY responsive about fixing them. From my experience, no one else in this industry comes even close.

P.S. In terms of sound, this player slays all other SACD players I have owned, including the Sony XA-777ES.
