For those that said that SACD was fading and Sony was not supporting the format based on the fact that all of their new SACD players annouced late last year were Combo-DVD players...Here is news of a new Sony entry level SACD/CD changer at $149± and an SACD/CD ES model changer at $399±....SACD ain't dead yet!

    They are also still running the ES level SACD, with new models, but that was announced last year....and the models are on the market now. The format isn't close to going anywhere...yet.

    DVP-NC555ES - 5Disc Changer DVD/CD/SACD
    DVP-NS999ES - Single Transport DVD/CD/SACD
    DVP-CX777ES - 400Disc Changer DVD/CD/SACD
    SCD-XA9000ES - Single Transport CD/SACD
    SCD-XA2000ES - 5Disc Changer CD/SACD

    Silver - US
    Silver/Black/Champagne(Gold) - UK

    The player that Shack mentioned is supposed to be the most affordable SACD player on the market. I have not verified that, but $149 or less is pretty damn low.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
