SACD-R

I have recently come across a few websites that have SACD downloads that can be Burned onto DVD-R and saved as an SACD-R. They sound INCREDIBLE!

Unfortunately, this has started me down a new path of component searching.

There are not many machines that play these discs, mostly newer BluRay players: Oppo, Marantz, DENON, Sony...

I have auditioned a Primare BD32 that has set the bar in my system for sound quality, but I do not need any of the Video or Multi-channel features of the unit, not do I really want to spend $6,000.

So, I am wondering if anyone else has gone down this road yet.

If so, is there an up-to-date list of compatible SACD-R players somewhere?

I am interested in knowing if the some of these models are compatible:
Marantz SA-8004
Yamaha CD-S1000
Pioneer Elite PD-D9MK2-K

SACD playing on an EMM Labs CDSA thru Meitner MA-1 DAC with AES input.

Same SACD.ISO file playing on a Mac Mini on Audirvana Plus streaming through USB to Meitner MA-1 DAC with DSD over USB.

Ironically, the SACD.ISO file on DSD sounds better than playing with the original SACD disc on the SACD player.

But that's cos the SACD is being converted to 88.2kHz PCM using the CDSA

@ Ss5:

Does the UD7007 support .iso files?

Thanks

Me, my friend and my cossin all have the best Universal player ever built, the Denon DVD-3910. We all bought two of these in case of spareparts. DVD audio sounds great, SACD sounds formidable. The dynamic is one of a kind. There is nothing better, not even vinyl. These days you can still buy one under €100,00. But the more people know these are the only high-end players that can play SACD-R, the more the price will rise. We also make our own SACD from DVD-rips and HD-Tracs and HD-Vinyl, with the help of the Philips software:
Super Autor. In a german test on the internet, the DENON DVD-3910 Was the best SACD plyer ever tested.

Just one question: does anyone know if the Yamaha BD-A1040 read SACD-R?
