A SACD Is A High Resolution Audio CD with a Difference! Since Hi-Res Audio is now the best possible way to listen to music, for those of you that don't want to mess with the downloads but want to get the same Hi-Res quality, Sony and Philips Electronics have developed a way to get that...

Hi all, I bought a mint CD777ES player because I have a large SACD collection that I typically don't listen to enough. I had heard that the 777ES had excellent SACD audio capabilities, and that is absolutely true in my opinion, even compared with an Oppo BDP-83SE. There is only one major flaw...

FS: like new OPPO-105 SOLD For sale, like new OPPO-105 with most all accessories unwrapped and unused. Includes everything that was shipped to me from OPPO when I ordered it. The only reason this couldn't pass as new is because there are a set of very minor marks from isolation pads sitting...

I am in search of a budget SACD player and read reviews of some Denon players going back 10+ years. I don't need DVD capability. I can find the DVD 1920 and DVD 2200 for low prices on eBay and Craigslist and am looking for opinions of these two machines. (One thing that confuses me is that the...

I just purchased a used Denon 1920 DVD player. I have it connected to a B&K AVR 507 series II via the 5.1 phono connections. No matter how I set up the B&K, I cannot get direct 5.1 sound. I can get it though the B&K processor, but not direct. Is this a limitation of the B&K? Or am I doing...

Hello all, I have a Denon AVRX3000 receiver. Denon says it has "Direct DSD support for SACD playback over HDMI." It also says "While DSD signals are played back, “DSD DIRECT” is displayed." The trouble is I can't seem to get "DSD Direct" displayed on the Denon and more importantly, I can't...

Thinking of getting Tubular Bells in surround. Right now I see an auction on the famous 4 letter auction site where the 4.0 surround SACD version is at only a few bucks. And I think this version is hard to find. Also I see out on the nets where there is a deluxe DVD/CD package where the DVD is...

I would like to get an SACD player or 3D blu-ray with SACD capability. However, I want a budget one. I don't understand the upside to getting an expensive player when I will just be using an HDMI to go to my receiver and staying digital. I could understand if people want to use the analog...

My son and I have recently started dabbling in SACD and other hi-riz formats. He found out that Dolby Labs has produced some demo discs for dealers and would like to get his hands on some. He's particularly interested in a demo disc entitled Dolby - The Sound of HD3 that features one of his...

Hi - I'm hoping some expert(s) can help me. I have a Panasonic SC-BT200 Blu Ray Home Theatre system which plays 5.1 discs great. I've bought a SONY BDP-S370 to play SACDs and intend to play them through the Panasonic home theatre. I bought a TOSLINK cable to connect the two and can get standard...
