I Love SACD! How does it sound Simon?

I'm looking at one on ebay OZ at present for $449 AUD ex demo. RRP claimed to be $899AUD. What do used models go for in UK ?

Frequency Response 4 Hz-50 kHz (SACD), 4 Hz-20 kHz (CD) THD (1 kHz) 0.0025 %
Dynamic Range 100 dB
S/N Ratio 114 dB (CD), 110 db (SACD)
Audio Output - Optical -22.5dBm Digital (Coaxial) 0.5 Vp-p/75 ohms Analog 2.0 V (rms)/500 ohms
Power Supply AC 240 V, 60 Hz
Power Consumption 15 W
Standby Power Consumption 0.3 W.
Any idea how it measures up against my Pioneer D6 (AIR Studios) SACD player?

You can get them new in the UK for £299 - at http://www.exceptional-av.co.uk/product.php?fdProductId=267

That supplier has lots of Onkyo stuff.

only got 2 sacd at the moment so "the jury is out" on this one.

need to get another set of phono leads and a switch box before i can A-B test to my desktop system.
