There may finnaly be a reason for me to replace my DVD player with a SACD capable one:
NIN - Downward Spiral (Deluxe Edition)
This is the first disk to truely catch my eye... damn I wish I wasn't broke!

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up. That's one of my all-time favorite albums.

I'd be interested in that one too, especially since my original version CD disappeared years ago.
Is there somewhere I could get a cheap SACD player (I don't care if it plays DVD too, I have a DVD player that I like).
I'd want this new NIN offering as well as Dark Side of the Moon on SACD.
The NIN album will come in DVD-A as well.

Check out the Pioneer 578s. I bought mine at Best Buy for $130, but I've been reading somewhere in the past week or so of some people finding closeouts or something at more like $100.
I don't know if that means the model is due to be replaced, but either way it has a good reputation as a very good value in a universal player.

I have that player and it's been great. The remote sucks (MX-700 some day!) and some have complaind that it has trouble reading discs, but I have had only two problem discs. Both were from netflix and had small cracks in them. Otherwise it's been great. Enjoy!

I have the previous model, the 563a, and have been pretty happy with it. You can't do better at that price.
I've bought quite a few SACD/DVD-a's recently. When done right, 5.1 music is awesome.

I have a friend that got a 563a on eBay for $50!
I got mine for $170.....no problems whatsoever. The nicest things about Pioneers is they read burned discs....CD and DVD....with much less problems than other brands.

I've had the 563a for more than a year now and have had zero problems with it. Though, it does seem to be more fussy about disc scratches than my old Pioneer DV434 was.
