kevin halverson/muse electronics ran a discreet 6-channel dvd-based system at ces 2001. i have been told (tho i don't have the ee background to verify) that both sacd and dvd-a can be configured in a number of ways, allowing, 2- 4 or 6 channel discreet, as well as the 5.1 ht standard. with dual-layering, i'm also told, it is possible to configure discs in any combination of these formats. (please feel free to correct this if i've been given bogus info.) lots of possibilities that motivate me to stick to good ol' 2-channel 'til it all gets sorted out, if it ever does. -kelly
SACD Multi Channel
Starting to think about how to make a good multi channel SACD system but no idea how to do it. No interest in HT though so I hope this rules out the need to worry about processors and other signal degradation.
I already have a Krell 2 channel amp and a pair of BAT 60 monoblocks with a VK3i Pre and two sets of speakers (Vandy 3 sigs and Dynaudio 1.3SE). Basically two separate systems at the moment. I would prefer to keep the BATs running the front two channels.
Is it just a case of getting another amp and pair of speakers?
I know it is premature but based on how good 2 channel SACD sounds and the probable increased popularity when it goes 5 or 6 channel, thought it made sense to start thinking.
