New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Right on, I agree, RBCD has improved tremendously with SOTA players

and I guess that doesn't help one all of that much whenever the entry point to SOTA RBCD is so darn expensive. But then, an SACD player that does RBCD well and SACD well definitely gets costly. What do I mean by "well?" I guess that's my subjective interpretation, but "well" is certainly better than any of the stock $3K SACD/CD players on the market.

I can only speak to what I've heard. With the Meitner, Esoteric, Ayre, and APL, - RBCD gets darn close to SACD. With the benefit of SACD, strickly as a bonus, on my APL player, I find it really not worth spending the extra dollars on SACD discs.

I also learned the hard way to not buy discs because of good recordings, but because of good performances, or great music, or both: bonus if the recording is good.
