Good news for the two or three of you out there who still care about SACD, the dead format of audio CDs with super-high fidelity and surround sound capabilities: Pioneer has got your back. Its new PD-D9 SACD player has all the features you'd want in such a player if it was 1998 and people still thought it had a shot at being relevant.

You get a Wolfson Twin DAC WM8741 chipset, 24 bit and 192KHz, and an integrated AM/FM radio tuner. That's right, AM/FM radio!!! Pioneer's got their finger on the pulse with this one. It also, as a concession to the kids, can play WMAs and MP3s, not that anyone so obsessed with audio quality would waste their time with compressed formats like those. All this can be yours for a mere $1,200. What a deal! — Adam Frucci
