High Rez download then burn SACD


I have been researching for a source upgrade for my system, and need some advice.

I hear that High-Rez will be the future of digital source, but haven't found a solution (e.g. PC/Mac to DAC) that is not difficult to setup/use, performs equivalent to Vinyl at a comparable setup price ($3K to $4K?), and will not be outdated in few years.

I never had a SACD player, but I was told that it definitely raised the standard for the digital source. So, it got me thinking, are there SACD burning software/hardware that we can use to burn High-Rez downloads? If not, what is stopping them?

if I were you, I'd not focus on SACD so much. you're probably right that the future of high-end audio will be computer (hard-drive) based systems, but you'll still need a good system to play it back (including a box that can play files that are higher-rez than CD/redbook). you might want to start by researching the 'squeezebox', which has a huge following.

as far as burning goes, those who choose to burn hi-rez files (as opposed to leaving it on hard drive) use DVDs.
Thanks for the info.

For those who are burning the High-Rez into DVD, are they getting the 24 bit/192 khz output from the DVD player into the DAC? If yes, which players are recommended?

BTW, I found the information on this link that explains why burning SACD may not be feasible solution in the near future.

the whole idea of using a hard-drive based system is to avoid the errors which result from a laser having to simultaneously read a disc and play the music (so you might want to consider not burning at all or using a DVD player). from the little I've seen on this (a demo at a local dealer), if you want the best sound possible, you'll need (in addition to a killer system in general...) a high-quality DAC (although I'm not even sure they're all called DACs anymore...) that can read up to 192 and has USB. the hard drive(s) and software (to extract files without errors, to be able to use your phone to control the whole thing, etc.) are relatively cheap - especially for the 'high end' world - but the best USB DACs (see: Linn, Ayre) are hella expensive. presumably this stuff will come down in price over time... the good news, from what I heard, is that even regular old 'redbook' sounds way better too.
Probably the cheapest DAC's that I've heard and will recommend are the Benchmark and the Lavry, both about $1200

We're taking the DSD data stream and capturing it to HDD. Most labels want it downsampled to 24/88.2

This is the future and people want convenience.
