That's not quite what they say about it http://www.leema-acoustics.com/product.html?prid=53 The custom servo and the control software will be basically ignoring anything that isn't an audio CD. Edited by Chris Firth - 17 May 2016 at 10:25pm |

So it's an SACD player first, and a CD player second. It has to interrogate the drive, read the TOC, decide whether it's an SACD hybrid/SACD only/CD disc, and then apply the user preferred option, should a preference be applicable. Way back there was only CD, so the mechanism could either manage to read the disc or fail to read the disc. |

I think that is pretty likely to be the case. I have one of Marantz current crop of CD Players, the decidedly-more-budget CD6005. It is a dedicated CD player and I have not noticed any speed issues. It opens, closes and loads on a par with most of the CD players that I have owned. It is slightly faster than some in fact as I have had CD changers and slot-loading drives in the past which are slower for obvious reasons. This is my first non-pc based disc drive to support CD-Text and even that doesn't seem to add anything to the load times. Only the fact that the drive is tuned to close smoothly stops it being really speedy. I've never owned an SACD but the SA11S3 looks like a much more complex prospect with several filters and other circuits that are simply absent from lesser models, not the mention the fundamentally different formats of CD and SACD (PCM vs DSD) means there is a lot more going on in your player than mine.

Chris you may well be right on the Leema this was upgraded from the previous versions which I had/still have. Whilst both mechanisms are smooth and quick not sure whether discussion is focused on the drawer mechanism, drive system or ability to read a variety of disc formats. All I would say is that whilst not a sacd format it reads all audio CDs including music. CDs recorded on my computer CD-R without any issues (0n both mark 1 and mark 2).
Cannot recall whether I have tried any cd-rws or not so cannot comment. Speed of reading all Discs is pretty quick too. |

The SA11S3 is finicky too. It won't play several discs that were not a problem for other players.
