SACD to Audio Aero Capitol

Hi Mejames,

Interesting post. Would you mind offering some more details regarding your experience? For example, did you compare any hi-end redbook DACs with the SCD-1 as a transport to the Capitole? Also, how does SACD on the Sony compare to redbook on the Capitole?

Thanks for the response, mejames. I was just curious to see someone else's experience with a modded SCD-1 v. hi quality redbook. I actually own an SCD-1 with the pretty much full on Audiocom/Kern mods (BG caps, Vishay S-102s, Superclock, SC PSU, Superregs, Op-amps, Relcaps, Hexfreds, WBT jacks), that I am still breaking in. At this point I find my Dodson DA-217 Mk II D (with the SCD-1 as a transport) to be noticeably better for redbook CD that using the SCD-1 alone. However, I have found that SACD reproduction with the SCD-1 beats out redbook on the SCD-1/Dodson combo in the few direct comparisons I have been able to make (e.g. Rebecca Pidgeon, Honeyboy Edwards, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana).
