G,
Please do tell me more, I've always found sacd, far less dynamic, which ever player it was, be it Accuphase dpv 85/DCS/sacd1/ the 9000 sony effort. (tweeked versions included)
Sacd certain has its plusses, especialy in the mid band.
When comparing I never used the same sacd hybrid disc, always the redbook version. against the hybrid, you may find a touch of difference
I feel there's a conlict of interest on the Hybrids, with the sacd layer being 'nicely done' as opposed to the red book being under done, I do believe there was a thread/article on this a short while back.
I'm sure that quite a few scad's have been remastered very nicely, and are more polished than the red book, though I have nicely done redbook cd's that really are very good, but again few and far between.
Still with all the indicision on formats, prehaps a multi-platform dac maybe in order
