Hooked on SACD

I bought this CDP from BestBuy nine months ago to test the SACD waters. I figured I could always take the thing back to BB if I didn't like it. But once I got it home and popped in Rudy Van Gelder's "Jazz After Midnight" SACD I was totally addicted! The sound is soooo much more spacious and detailed than standard CDs. Although I have a very good 5.1 HT system I prefer the 595 in my dedicated 2 channel home office set up. All SACDs (even surround) offer excellent two channel reproduction so I programmed the 595 to default to two channel. The only problem with buying this unit is you may not want to go back to regular CDs. Thank goodness Amazon has a huge selection of SACDs as I now refuse to feed this machine anything else. A fine CDP for less money than some audiofiles spend on a set of cables, so how can you go wrong?

Very Pleased

My husband and I were replacing and old (30 + years from college) stereo system. We had a new Denon receiver, also purchased on Amazon, and Bose 901 speakers. The last componant to purchase was this CD player. I researched on the internet for days and settled on this product. The price was great. The delivery was great. The hook up was easy. Fully satisfied.

Even Better Than Expected!

After considerable research and reading reviews, I decided to make the move to an SACD capable player. A few reviews had me nervous about its tendency to pause during play. This did happen for me once when I first set it up and once again a month later; a quick unplug and replug (it resets) took care of it both times and it has never happened again(6 months and counting). What sound performance! It really does improve the sound of regular CDs!! (Use the optical digital cable). When we first tried it with an old favorite CD, we were stunned by the better sound reproduction on a disk we were very familiar with. "How can it get any better?" THEN we played an SACD (using the 5 RCA cables hook-up) - wow. The detail and distinct sound reproduction is amazing, from Dylan or Elton to classical pipe organ (try the "Messiah" in SACD!) To be sure there are differences in disk; I disagree with another reviewer about 2 channel SACD. We use it when listening to a two channel set-up extension in a neighboring room. Sounds are more distinct and clear even in 2 channel SACD. I find this unit outperforms much more expensive units in CD or SACD mode; play it a lot and rediscover the sounds you've been missing on your CD collection. We found it to be even better than expected!

Sony Super audio CD player

Product performs as expected with normal CDs. It is very quiet and the controls are easy to understand. Music quality is good, not necessarily superior to other players I've owned. The changer itself works well and I've experienced no jamming of the CDs as I've had with other brands. I'd recommend it.

Great player, one annoying oversight.

Over all I like the player. But, there is really one annoying thing about it, you can't turn it off from the remote. Other than that, no complaints.
