I don't have an SACD player yet as I'm waiting for a combi-player with HDMI or Firewire connectivity (but that's another issue), but can't you listen to ALL SACD's in stereo mode on either a DVD player or CD player?

I just wanted to make sure before I ordered some. BTW, I read an excellent write-up on an upcoming SACD of Alison Kraus that was recorded live. Not out till November, but I'd like to get it.

Thx,
