I have been looking into high quality playback of discs, and either I am misreading things or there are only a few SACD players out there? Sony don't seem to have any (?, the new PS3 wont play SACDs), Denon have 1 (DVD-A1UDCI at about USD 4500). Pioneer may have 1. Anybody care to make suggestions.
My thinking is I want to begin to play higher(-est) quality music files. Downloads and computer playback are ok, but they are often only 96/24 and 88.2/24. 96/24 and 88.2/24 may sound great, but computing power and storage are getting cheaper fast.
Bit shocking that the best quality player I have seen enthusiastically discussed here, and I have seen in a retail outlet, is the Korg MR-1. 2.8224 MHz @ 1-bit.
