I have closed the SACD survey with only 61 results. This survey is in no way scientific, as the sample is too small. However I wish to share the results of the survey. It looks like the problems playing SACD/CD Hybrids is not as widespread as one would believe reading posts of machine owner’s whose players have quite playing hybrids.Of the 61 players, only 12 had trouble playing SACD hybrids, and 3 had trouble playing CDs, none had trouble playing DVD-Videos. The repairs included the spindle motor, drive and optical block. Two were replacements instead of repair. And three SACD players had to be repaired more than once.
Also I was really surprised to find out a lot of SACD owners still play a lot of Redbook CDs!
Here are the percentage of play by format:Plays hybrid SACD/CDs: 47%
Plays single layer SACDs: 9%
Plays CDs: 37%
Plays DVDs: 7%Clink on the link for the survey results by Make and Model of SACD player.
Happy listening,
