Thought about picking up one of these, got a $30 gift card from BB. Currently don’t own a sacd player and have been playing reg. cd’s through my cheap Mitsubishi dvd player since my very old Denon cd changer bit the dust.

Current gear:
Denon 3803
Adcom five chan.
LSI’s all around

Does anyone own one of these?
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated on this player.
I know it’s on the cheap side of the spectrum, but I would really like to check out sacd and I like the multi disc setup.

    Alright, thanks for the info.
    I think I’ll give one a try since I can’t find a Denon sacd changer. Does Denon make one?
    Anybody Know?

    From what I've read/heard about the inexpensive Sony SACD machines is that the SACD playback is pretty good with the CD playback not so good, but inline with what you get from any CDP in the same price range.

    Actually, the CD playback quality of the Sony 595 is surprisingly good. I think you will have to go either the Sony C2000ES (the ES version of the 595) or a dedicated CD player in the $250.00 - $300.00 range to better it.

    Well I’ve done an about face and picked up a used, supposedly mint, Denon DVD 2200
    for $260 shipped off AG.
    Guess I’ll have to get off my lazy butt to change disc.
