Barcode 499944 6 , when it arrives I'll give full details Dave.

Not quite an arm and a leg E1 but it was £32 including postage, I'm happy as the cd collection was missing this.

nice one (now you just need to get an SACD player lol)

What can play SACD? How about a Playstation 3??

I just looked it up and it appears my third gen PS3 can't. Hmmm, I don't see the point buying the discs then.

Not bad then

. Both mine came in at about £30 and those were the lowest prices I'd seen.

Our Sony Blu Ray player does

I think also a few DVD players do... I always wondered if you could somehow transfer the 5.1 signal from an SACD onto a DVD. Cant be too hard, it's basically the same output sans the picture. There are a few SACD's out there I'd like to have a listen to, but I dont see the point in buying an expensive player for a format that's basically dead.

Indeed, if they have stopped making any players too it's a bit like buying vinyls or mini discs.

or laserdiscs!

got all kinds of stuff flying around here, MD's, vinyl's, MC's, diskette's, there's even some old 8track-tapes from my fathers place (no pun intended) up on some shelf.

AndrewG · 10 Oct 2010, 20:44

I even have some CDs here. Tsssk!

**RadioMaster** · 10 Oct 2010, 20:47

btw, checked my BD player (sony bdp-s360) and it doesnt play SACD's, they apparently started including that feature for the 370 series.

The 370 is the one I've got

AndrewG · 10 Oct 2010, 20:53

I would have thought they will or have removed the SACD support feature in their next gen models?
