You might try the Oppo BDP-83 which can output SACD as 24 bit 88.2 kHz on HDMI. It's not the pinnacle of transport engineering but it is a very good blu-ray player and will allow you to play SACD through your Scarlatti. You would need to use a converter for HDMI to coax or Toslink digital output, e.g. http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=3939

Yes, the Scarlatti transport can output PCM from SACD but: 2x AES/EBU on 3-pin male XLR connectors. Each outputs CD format data (16 bits at 44.1kS/s), whether a CD or SACD is playing. So, all you are getting from the SACD is CD resolution (16/44.1). Wanna swap your Scarlatti for my modified Oppo? ;-) |
Not simple. See this thread: http://www.meridianunplugged.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=90371&fpart=1 (Lots of info/discussion at this webforum) Also: http://www.switch-box.com/3x_and_4x_S_PDIF_Transceiver_board.html and https://www.dvdupgrades.ch/digital_audio.html |
