SACD player

[meegbear]

I just picked up the 30th anniversary reissue of Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. It touts how it plays in surround 5.1.

I have a Cambridge Soundworks surround system, but a regular CD player. The disk says the Surround Sound Mix is not available using a standard CD player.

Does anyone own an SACD player? Can I really need an SACD player for this?

1. Yep, you do.

Sorry!

2. How about a DVD player with surround sound?

I really don't know what I'm talking about here, but I know that my DVD player has surround sound and that it plays CDs. Seems like it might be a good alternative.

4. You're right...

A 5.1 audio disk SHOULD play in a DVD player with SS 5.1.

5. I may do that ...

see those at Best Buy for 129.00. Have a DVD player now and it works great, got back in 2000.

Thanks.

I thought that all the DU audiophiles would swoop down on me like locusts!

6. Most mid-range and higher DVD players can handle SACD.

Lower end ones usually can't.
