SACD Player for Classe SSP-800

-- Thu, 09/17/2009 - 17:19

Based on the multiple positive reviews and personal listening trips to hi-end audio stores, I made the jump and bought the Classe SSP-800 digital controller. As the controller has great DACS, is it necessary to invest in a high end SACD player (i.e. Ayre,Esoteric, Emm,etc.)?  I have a large SACD collection and would like excellent audio but don't want to spend extra dollars if not necessary.

Great choice classe preamp. Have you connected two subwoofers in stereo?
If you have a large collection Id recommend the Emmlabs SACD, CD, I've heard it and its excellent.
I run the Nad Master M55 but only have a few SACD's. It is good value also but is a multiplayer. I run a dedicated transport and DAC for CD
I would be wary of buying many more SACD's as they may move to HD DTS Master for music alongside video.
This format should get more recognition as opposed to SACD which is still unknown to the general population.
