well, you are all horrible people.
The intrigue about SACD’s started in the “What are you spinning?” thread, so I looked on Craigslist over the weekend and sure enough, an ONKYO C-S5VL showed up and I picked it up for $150.

Regular CDs sound great (Wolfson DAC), and I didn’t have a CD player so it wasn’t too crazy a purchase. But Saturday night after a few cocktails I ordered a slew of SACDs off Discogs.com to experience things in DSD. We’ll see if it’s worth the premium!
So I blame you people, but one might be more accurate to blame myself. I’m not willing to do that, so you people it will have to be.
