| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Tomcy6,I agree with what Gammayo said but to complete the whole picture, SACD is 64dsd. Hi-res can be run up to 384/24(DXD) or 256dsd.I have heard good quality hi-res pcm 192/24 and 128dsd trump good quality SACD's, again with all things equal.As ... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Gammajo,Not quite. Not all sacd's are recorded/mastered/remastered at optimal quality. This also applies to cd's and hi-res files, whether pcm or dsd. The final sound quality of any format depends on the quality of the whole production process. So... | |

| EMM Labs CDSD SE doesn't LOCK onto CD/SACD? try asking the seller first. | |
| What is you TIDAL setup? A word of CAUTION. I have just been charged the full amount during the trial period without my knowledge. I get constant dropouts with the track stopping entirely within 30 seconds. Now I can't even log in to manage my account to cancel. I get a s... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,Since you already have a top-notch DAC in the Bricasti M1, getting the BDP-1USB would save you a bundle. From the review that follows, USB thumbdrive seems to give better SQ than NAS.http://www.bryston.com/PDF/reviews/2015_03_Review_BDP... | |
| Is Louder always Better? +1, Rhyno, to all points regarding lowering the noise floor. Louder is usually better but up to a point. Beyond that, your ears start to hurt with hearing loss and ringing over the long term.Happy listening! J. | |
