However ... There was a time when SACD owners (fueled by there own justification and the blundering magazines and dubious webzine hype) countered that those 'great' SACD player were also 'great' cdp.
Thankfully time has dispelled that myth!!!
The newest and better SACD players sound 'different' to me ... and they do have aspects of sound that i have never heard from any redbook player to date - at any cost. That said ... other aspects of SACDs sound seem to be a bit of a compromise ... so ...
The fact is that SACD, DVD, DVD-A 24bit resolution is an inherited advantage that CD may never counter ... you can oversample upsample or dont sample at all ... but 16bit resolution will always end up being ONLY 16bit resolution!!!
