Talk about a minimalist design. The new Pioneer PD-D9 is a beautiful-looking SACD player that can play all your favorite SACDs like Frampton and The Police with ease, along with MP3 and WMA CDs, regular CDs and AM/FM radio.
Though Sony offers an inexpensive SACD player, Pioneer begs to differ. This PD-D9 will set you back over $1200. Worth it? Depends on how much its sleek design makes you swoon.

SA-CD is the real flesh of the musical experience in your home. If you are serious about music, then SA-CD is the way to go. It rivals vinyl in its warmth, but even outdoes vinyl in terms of depth, clarity and detail. Why not hear the format for yourself? There are almost 5,000 titles available and more coming every day. SA-CD is not dead. Its market is global! We in North America are really behind when it comes to hi-fi music listening. I couldn’t imagine not having an SA-CD player now. I still have a nice CD player, but it doesn’t match the reproduction of SA-CD. Multichannel is very involving. You owe it to yourself to hear it and then decide!
