| SACD Player/Transport Choices Have you ever seen the control panel of an Oppo, or one of their derivatives? @mahler123 I'm sure it can decode DSD internally and output it through the analog outs but it can't output it natively. | |
| SACD Player/Transport Choices Sony rigidly controls access to how DSD is utilized and I believe McIntosh is the only manufacturer that has an exclusive means of sending "native" DSD over a wire. I've been using an MCT80 for quite some time, first with a DA 1 then the DA 2 in ... | |
