tomcarr I found only one SACD/CD player that has also a proper PMD200 HDCD chip in it as well for HDCD Cd's, and that is the CLASSE AUDIO OMEGA SACD http://audio.asablo.jp/blog/img/2012/05/06/1fa5cf.jpg https://www.stereophile.com/hirezplayers/474/index.html Cheers George |
New CDP or standalone DAC...? Given same d/a converter in both and implemented the same way, then it’s best to go CDP, rather than separates. As when you have separates both dac a transport have their own clocks and are not sync’ed to each other. Unless you have like a very expensive DCS system that runs the clock of the dac to the transport via a separate lead and the clock in the transport is not used. TentLabs used to have expensive kits’ to do this, but were complex to implement. In a CDP there is usually one clock that dac and the transport both section run off, so they are always sync’ed to each other via the same clock, always a better option. Cheers George |
