So after my mis-adventure with the Denon DVM4800 DVD Audio player, after returning it, I brought home a Sony SCD-C333ES for a measly $399 at Good Guys! This thing was over a grand when it came out 6-7 months ago!
I was so thrilled with the quality of DVD Audio (though not that Denon DVM4800!) that I just had to check out SACD, which I keep reading is even BETTER than DVD Audio. Well, I could hardly wait!
SACD selection sucked at my local Tower Records. Nevertheless, I got the following SACDs:
T. Monk-- Straight no Chaser. I have the CD version of this one so I can go head to head!
Bach-- The Goldberg Variations with Glenn Gould. Still on my quest to get into Classical.
Not posting impressions of sound quality just yet, but I'll add them to this thread later.
Build quality on the Sony is 5 times better than the Denon, that I can tell you right now!
I hear this unit takes a VERY long time to burn in. I know there are some owners on this board. What was your experience with burn-in? Also, there are 5 separate filters that change the sound. Which setting did you choose and why?
