| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Just make sure that the HD and CD versions are from the same mastering. Also, take note of the provenance: Is this really an HD recording or is it upsampled from CD/non-HD original? | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res The signal path disparity between the HD recordings via the Sony and the CD recordings via the Ayon transport/DAC is significant. In my comparisons between identical HD recordings and their CD siblings via the same DAC/system invariably favor the ... | |
| Comparing SACD sound to High Res Sure. All the time and to DSD downloads as well. For me, the real differential is the performance and audio production because they vary so much more than do all the HD formats.You will/may get more comments but until you do try this for yourself,... | |

| Multi Channel Pre vs processor I have used and reviewed the Audio research MP-1, Parasound P7 and the Bel Canto Pre6 (and a few others) in my column, Music in the Round. All can be accessed at http://www.stereophile.com/category/music-roundFWIW, I use the AR MP1. | |
