    Congrats, looking forward to hearing how it works out, especially if it's a true balanced machine.. I'll read the review.

    Congrats on the new player. The 8001 is a nice machine but it is as you described. I found my 840c to be more lively when I had both. Enjoy the Sony!

    I am excited about having a new player. My vinyl sounds so good I wanted a digital player that will be as detailed. It ships Monday!

    I think the SA8001 would be a good match for bright electronics or speakers. Every review I have read sounds like the Sony is just what I need. I will also like not having to manually select the SACD level. Using the XLR connections will free up an input. Who knows I might get a tuner.
