Sony SCD-CE775 5-Disc CD Changer

Pros: It's a Super Audio CD player for approx $350 US. It plays CD/SACD & CDR/W
Cons: Where is my Fiona Apple Super Audio CD box set?

This was the first Super Audio CD player that got the ball rolling. That’s what they’ll say next year or five years from now. This is the first SACD player to hit the shelves that is within reach of most consumers. The next thing to get the...

Pros: Price, Multi channel SACD playback, Sound quality with standard CD's
Cons: No video output, Slow switching from one disc to another

In May of this year I found myself in need of a CD player. I remembered reading a review of the SCD-CE775 and since I already had a DVD Audio ( the other high resolution audio format ) player, I thought that this would be a good way to test out the Super...

Pros: Good sound for both SACD and regular CD
Cons: Noisy changer, slow track forward function

If you're reading this review, than you probably have at least a passing interest in the new Sony/Philips SACD format. Is it really better than regular CD?? On some SACDs, it can be hard to tell. On other releases the differences are quite startling....

Pros: New Great sounding technology
Cons: Not so good build quality

Pros: Unbelievable sound for little money
Cons: Doesn't Say "ES" on the front. Noisy changer

Well, I thought I had to spend several hundred dollars more on an ES sony to get a great SACD sound. I stumbled across this player at Best Buy in their SACD sound stage. It sounded great out of some crapy sony speakers. However, the price tag was...

Pros: Great sound for both formats, easy to use.
Cons: No power button on remote control.

This SACD/CD player really gets the job done for a nice price. It has all the features you could ever need and it has a nice sound for such an inexpensive unit.

I feel no need to bore you with details about what color the front lights up, or...

Pros: Great price to get into the world of SACD. Jog dial. Bass/Speaker Controls
Cons: Takes time to switch from SACD to CD mode.

I am an avid music listener, and for a long time I sat on the fence regarding buying an SACD or a DVD-A player. Well, I walked into Best Buy one afternoon, and the CE-775 was there as an open box special for $175. I couldn't say no!

I have...
