SA8004 SACD Player

[Car commander]

I bought this player as a stand in for my reference player. I am amazed at how good it is. I have read several good reviews on this player and they are right. My GF says it sounds good because of the system I dropped it into. LOL. My cheapest IC cost 5 times what this player did. I had an inexpensive Sony player in the system for a couple of days and it was like listening to music through a wall.

Is this player as good as my K-01? Of course not. It is the best player I have heard under 5 grand. It was $900. A bargain for how good it is. Now when does my K-01 return from service. LOL.
