I haven't played a SACD in my Wadia 581iSE for years but this morning I decided to play the only (hybrid) SACD disc I have (Eleanor McEvoy - Yola) and it selected the CD layer - I'm sure in the past it always picked the SACD layer first. I tried to get it to switch to the SACD layer (by pressing the mode button on the remote) and the display changed to CD>SACD for about 5 seconds but I couldn't get it to actually change the layer - iirc when it changes to the SACD layer the display should show something to do with a different sample rate and clock link???
Anyway I've been umming and arring about selling my whole system for a while and obviously if I do sell I need to know if the Wadia's SACD playback is faulty (it's perfect on CD and via the digital inputs) so wondered if someone had a single layer SACD they could post me so I can try that. Obviously I'll cover all postage costs and return it the next day. I looked for something on eBay but can't find anything cheap enough - most of them are hybrid discs anyway.
