A new SACD and CD player from Pioneer
It seems that some people are actually still using SACD, a type of CD which, thanks to a bunch of urban myths, is said to give an impeccable sound quality on CD.
Anyway, this may be your chance to actually get to try and verify if this is true, (because despite trying hard I never ever got my hands on an SACD), with the Pioneer PD-D9 which can play both as I just said, but also MP3 and WMA.
A few more specs with the Wolfson Twin DAC “WM8741″ chipset, 24 bit and 192KHz… oh yeah, and an AM/FM radio tuner; there you go now you have it, all you need is to take out 850€ (!!) for the SACD and 275€ (!) for the radio off your pocket.

does this one play dvd-audio discs too ?? ive currently got 4 of those discs but no proper audio system to play them on.
I know there are dvd *video* players from Pioneer that plays both these formats.
there is indeed an improvement of sacd compared to cd, but only if you have the right rig…
SA-CD is the real flesh of the musical experience in your home. If you are serious about music, then SA-CD is the way to go. It rivals vinyl in its warmth, but even outdoes vinyl in terms of depth, clarity and detail. Why not hear the format for yourself? There are almost 5,000 titles available and more coming every day. SA-CD is not dead. Its market is global! We in North America are really behind when it comes to hi-fi music listening. I couldn\’t imagine not having an SA-CD player now. I still have a nice CD player, but it doesn\’t match the reproduction of SA-CD. Multichannel is very involving. You owe it to yourself to hear it and then decide!
