Sony Blu Ray Players Play SACDs. Sony and Pioneer also sell Universal Players and perhaps others as well. They can’t be used as streamers, as Oppo machines can, otherwise they have similar functionality.
SACD drive sources
With the passing of Oppo, it seems that the manufacture of SACD drives is disappearing. PS Audio has discontinued their current transport and the new transport this fall won’t support SACD (their drive was from Oppo. As someone who has a large SACD library I am concerned about the future of this format.
Other than Marantz and Esoteric, is there anyone currently building SACD drives? Also, they do not output DSD over HDMI.
Sony appears to be out. Pioneer and Yamaha still have machines with HDMI output for DSD. But who makes their drives?
Any way to know where drives are sourced from?
