| Issue Multichannel SACD with 2 Channel Player Right you are. I was unaware of this unit and mistook it for a more modern one.Nonetheless, is it possible that the OP's problem discs lack a stereo DSD program track (even though he says they are all hybrid)? Do we know which ones these are?Kal | |
| Issue Multichannel SACD with 2 Channel Player What do you mean "2 channel only machines?" AFAIK, these are MCH machines. If you have them set up for 2 channel and these particular SACDs lack a stereo DSD track, they may not be able to do anything since there's no downsampling permitted.Kal | |

| Equalization done right, experiences? I can vouch for both the Rives PARC and the z-systems RDP-1. The PARC is for low(ish) frequencies, cut-only while the RDP-1 is much more flexible. As for 'digital edge,' that's not the EQ's fault as long as you do not add unnecessary conversions. ... | |

| Redirecting bass frequencies Plants are generally useless but I do agree with you about the RealTraps which are now in my listening room. However, the information at that website should be a guide to what to do even if you have to go elsewhere for esthetic reasons. Another us... | |
