Just for your information...If you have the HTS 1, which is the first generation HTS from Krell, you need not worry about which cables to use for SACD because your bigger problem is that the HTS 1 does not have an analog bypass. What this means is that the SACD signal from the Sony will have to be "digitized" through the Krell's DAC's before you can hear any sound. By doing so, you are limiting the frequencies and are not hearing true SACD because the HTS DAC's are handcuffing the sound. What you will hear will be better than "regular" CD's but, will no way sound like SACD direct. HOWEVER, if you have the Krell HTS 2, which is shipping next week, then you will get all of the benefits of SACD because it WILL have analog bypass and will not digitize the SACD signal. CABLES: try Nordost, they sound great and no matter which brand you buy MAKE SURE YOU BUY BALANCED XLR'S CABLES AND NOT RCA'S whenever you can.
Which Cables for Sony DVP-9000ES
I will be receiving my new Sony DVD player any day and am curious on IC recommendations for the analog rca's out. Will be connecting to a Krell HTS preamp. What I understand, you have to use the analog outs to take advantage of SACD. Is that not right?
