I question the NAD 521bee as compared to your 542, have you heard that one? Maye not, I may post again for that one. So does your 542 play SACD as well? My first real look as boxing day sales coming up! Will your player do 5.1 played in 2.1 or 2 channel read only? Jamie |

Silver Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 101 Registered: Nov-05 | No Jamie, the NADs C521, 541, 541i and 542 are all redbook cd players, I'm not sure about the others but the 542 plays HDCD. I have a Denon Universal DVD2900 that handles DVD-A and SACD and is paired with a Marantz SR7300. Cheers |

Gotta be someplace better, of course, that was over the phone price. Looking for NAD prices now. MR I have followed your posts, and congrats! I may need to lok a bit further. Merry Christmas! Cheers |

It's a tube DVD player that does redbook, hdcd, and dvd audio. Very nice piece for $1,095 that could be used for DVDs and CDs. Here's alink if you're interested. http://www.jolida.com/catalogue/models/jd700.shtml |
