What a pity! As a long term owner of EMM labs gear I'm surprised and disappointed to see that SACD has been forgotten by the Canadian brand.
Ed Meitner was One of the fathers of the super audio CD ... His players are still among the best choices in digital audio especially for the sacd feature.
IMHO there's any economical reason for this choice.
Just my two cents
