I have not had the pleasure of listening to any SACD disc's yet just wondering which way to go, stick with DVD-A I want to try the SACD format also just don't know what to expect. |

Bronze Member Username: Culp4684Post Number: 86 Registered: Aug-04 | Ditto on what Sem said... Plus, there are a lot more recordings offered on SACD. Don't limit yourself either way by getting a player for only one format. |

New member Username: FroggyPost Number: 2 Registered: Dec-04 | Thanks Guys, I just purchased a Dennon 2910 and a AVR4802R so I'm pretty well set as not limiting myself. What is the difference in the two formats as far as fidelity goes, I'm very impressed with my DVD-A discs. |

Silver Member Username: SemNew York USA Post Number: 372 Registered: Mar-04 | Steve, Nice gear there, you should be all set. As far as the difference in fidelity...SACD should sound every bit as good as your DVD-A's (unless of course you subscribe to the Sony conspiracy theory ---- inside joke). Personally, I can't tell a difference between the two formats. Some say SACD's sound a bit better, maybe they do but my old ears can't tell.

Bronze Member Username: BigfanPost Number: 67 Registered: Jan-04 | steve, how is the 2910 performing, for both video and audio? i'm considering the same unit, against the older 2900 (which has come down to about the same price, and has conflicting opinions on whether the 2910 is its equal or not) and against a pioneer 578 (much less expensive with performance that may be close?). thanks. |

New member Username: FroggyPost Number: 3 Registered: Dec-04 | Bigfan I'm super happy with my Denon stuff, the 2910 is working absolutly awsome, I'm maybe not as picky as some, But I do know how to tell the difference, you won't be disapointed in the 2910. |
