In Reply to: A word of warning on SACD use. posted by sser2 on April 3, 2007 at 12:39:35:
If a SACD recording strains, fails, skips, etc in ALL players, then I would tend to agree. But that is not my experience with every player I have. And I have played a good number of SACDs hybrids lots of times in my car and on my portable CD player also. I have also bought lots of used SACDs. The only problem I have is with one SACD player from time to time (not always), unfortunately it is my best and most expensive player. Even with the MPS/Verve Oscar Peterson recordings that do not track or tend to skip on that player, that isn't the case all of the time. I love jazz and those recordings sound darn good on that player versus my lower quality ones.I would be willing to bet the CD layer on SACD hybrids would play on 99.99% of dedicated CDPs also. DVD players may perhaps be another story though as I remember some folks reporting some problems early on about that.
As suppose the problem could be a case of 3 layers on some of these SACD discs versus just one a CD.
