Given B&W's avowed, yet only recently revealed, dislike of CD, I'd say, anything on CD. And I do mean anything

Never Give Up! Never Surrender!

Cyrus go full width. What a time to be alive.

It's interesting when shills reviewers on Youtube promoting reviewing the SMSL PL100 CD player get caught out by it not playing CD gapless. The responses follow a similar pattern; "I don't have any gapless CD's to test on it" Followed by "Is gapless a requirement of the Red Book Standard"...

Not if you set it to use the SACD layer of the disc.

Couple things to note; if you buy either of the Sony players I've suggested is that there is a remote control clash with your UDP-800MK2. They all use the same RC5 codes. Doesn't bother me because they are different rooms. Second, you need to set the player to default to the SACD layer and...

I think you're getting confused as to what I'm suggesting. By buying another cheap, second hand Sony blu-ray player, then all the original poster needs to do, is run a phono cable from the back of the stereo out of the said player and plug the other end into a spare analogue socket on the back...

The inference being that ones that don't make a noise are abnormal, so any player which is quiet is faulty. Having experienced similar gaslighting with Marantz, I'd be cutting my losses and getting something else.

As an aside "Japanese Voltage" is a great name for a band.

Is it a KI Signature? If so, I'd save your money. Or, find a cooperative Dealer who sells Cyrus CD players, bring your player along and do a comparison.

My experience of Denon / Marantz service echoes the "it's supposed to do that" and the one's which don't do it are, in fact faulty I wish you good luck dealing with them,.

I own one of these players. It plays Atmos bluray discs fine.

The Panasonic can't play SACDs. May not be a show stopper, but it can't do it.
