Plays SACDs and improves the sound of regular CDs

When conventional CDs became available they displaced LPs in the marketplace because of their small size and the fact that their sound did not degrade with the ticks and pops that even the best-maintained LPs eventually acquire. But, despite these advantages -- as well as significant improvements in CD sound over time, with technological advances such as oversampling -- many connoisseurs maintained that CDs never achieved the warmth and high-frequency sweetness characteristic of top-grade audiophile LPs. Now that has changed. Super Audio CDs are superior in sound to the finest audiophile-quality LPs I've ever heard. Furthermore, even conventional CDs played on a SACD player sound better than they do on typical CD players. In fact, the best conventional CDs in my collection equal audiophile-quality LPs in sound when played on this Sony SACD player and the new SACDs sound even better. If you're going to buy a CD player why not get one, like this Sony, which plays not only regular CDs but the new terrific-sounding SACDs -- especially, when the price is so reasonable?

Best possible quality for the money. Vendor shipped promptly and packed the item carefully.

Inconsitent Playback, Shallow Sound, Good Value

This is not a bad CD player, but it has some specific drawbacks. In its favor, however, the sound has good balance, with fairly clear highs. Sound, however, is noticably shallow. If you listen to a lot of music in mono or don't usually sit in a single place to listen to music, this won't be much of an issue. The only real functional problems are the slow speed of changing cds and somewhat poor performance with damaged cds. Still, this is a very inexpensive player for the quality.
