Best Buy seems to have DVD-A and SACD sections in there stores in Oregon,
but sometimes there isn't much there. They usually have a couple players
too, I find it easier to look for the logos on the machines, or research
models on the internet instead of asking anyone there, though. I just
added a DVD-A player w/ all the decoders in it to my Sansui quad reciever,
in place of a CD player, so I now have the best of both worlds :)

have a nice stereo turntable and my computer. Well, I do have an Aiwa with
surround sound speakers, but I havent figured out a way to play my burned quad
surround on there. I lived in Wyoming up until last week, where SACD and the
things you mentioned usually ge a balnk stare. Now I am in Phoenix, so maybe
bestBuy or Circuit City would be worth checking out. You may add me to chat list
in yahoo chat if you like. its nascarsux02. Cool? Cool
