Thanks Ted, I agree with your points. Like me, I will never intend to "rip" my SACD and use it with a DSD DAC as why do that if you already have the hardware?
Third, if you have the actual disc, than there's no worry about losing your hard drives and the info if it crashes or getting back ups...though with CD/SACD, you need storage space.
Fourth, I love to find that "person" that appreciate good SACD playback...and while the OPPO has all the bells and whistles, most of us dedicated audiophiles, have separate Video and Audio systems or set ups. I for one do. So, the BD playback and the HDMI and multi-channel of the OPPO and price is nice, but is it really needed?
Just wanted to see what the consensus is out there....
I am waiting on getting a DSD DAC since it seems (and I could be wrong) that the better DACs do not do DSD yet so you may actually sacrifice quality for non-DSD source material by going to a DSD DAC. I am not as close to it yet so this may not be correct.
Let me add that I am also old.
I am wondering what is going on with SACD players and why it seems like nobody wants a HIGH END SACD / CD PLayer Only!It seems everyone wants something that can act as a DAC as well.

I have been trying to sell my Marantz SA11S2 for a couple of weeks, even at 50% of retail and seems like there is no interests in it.Seems to me folks wants a player that can also act as a DAC, and DSD Dac at that.Just wanted to see what the consensus is out there....Thanks
Huh?Meitner, EMM-Labs, Playback designs, Ayre, Chord, Lampizator, Ressonessence,Antelope, etc...all are among the "better" Dacs and do DSD. I think MSB does too and its rumoured that Weiss will support DSD soon.
