When playing sacd youll need to use the rca analog audio outs on your cd/sacd player. You can have both a digital cable and the rca cables connected at the same time, but sacd specifically cannot be output digitally. I am no expert on content law but i believe it has to do with Sony trying to protect their sacd content from being pirated, so they dont allow it to be output digitally, Connect a set of L+R rca cables and youll be hearing music in no time.
No audio playing SACD"s
Hello Audiogoner's using a single digital cable no problem whatsoever playing conventional CD'S, however when I play a SACD, there is no audio? is the menu on my Puccini, set up wrong? OR separate cables needed to play SACD'S??, does that make sense? any ideas would be helpful.....
