There has been a lot of "chatter" in audiophile rags about the waning days of the CD player since digital downloads seem to be the rage. My question, from the experience of SA-CD net readers, and without going whacky (like the $ 70,000+Scarlatti SACD/CD combo) what STEREO Sacd DEDICATED player/players captures the essence of what is contained on SACD........WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. I was considering purchasing the Marantz SA-7 Stereo SACD/CD player and a number of reviews said that the difference between CD and SACD playback was narrow, at best, which suggests to me that the higher resolution SACD playback was only marginally better than RBCD playback. Could someone illuminate this point?
