Sony NAS-E35HD

Advantages: Pure Quality
Disadvantages: Not many!

...! Shifting this thing was my exercise for the day. Unpacking it was exercise for the week! After careful lifting (knees bent, please), I sat back and admired the divine build quality of the SCD-1. Many audiophiles speak of components built with "tank-like quality". Well folks, here is one that will test the sands of time. Thankfully, the new format has taken into account the millions of CDs in our collections and is making the new SACD discs backward compatible. Using "hybrid" discs (combining a CD layer and HD - High-Density - layer, each 0.6mm thick, making the standard 1.2mm standard disc we now use), our regular ol' 16-bitters will play on the new machines.
