Which issue of Sound and Vision? I don't seem to be able to find it on their website, and my local newstand has the Nov. issue...not in there either. Is it in Dec issue? Just curious to read the review, I've got a 45a and couldn't be happier, paid $420 locally.

However, at this point $700 is a little too rich for me, and I know this may sound crass, but I really like a five-disc carousel (the DV-45A is a one-disc drawer). As long as I can remember which disc is in what position.
The WAF also enters into the equation, along with a question.
Is SACD really that good?
I have heard it, but only briefly, and I didn't hear an appreciable diference. Maybe the recording wasn't the best it could have been.
I have never heard DVD-Audio, so the same question stands as for SACD.
