| Multichannel SACD over HDMI Yes, the v1.2 spec includes DSD but inclusion of the feature is not mandatory, either on the sender (player) or the receiver.Kal | |
| SACD & DSD Questions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Stream_Digital | |
| SACD & DSD Questions DSD comes in a few flavors, one of which is what is taken off an SACD disc. There are a few players, such as the Sony XA5400ES and some PS3s, that will play non-SACD DSD. Korg makes a player-recorder.Many SACD players will output PCM and/or DSD on... | |
| Saw the Stereophile review of the B&W 800 Diamond Thanks for reading but:I have never reviewed or auditioned the Salon, only the Studio.The sparkle was appropriate and, as I said, the ruthlessness only an issue with poor source materials.Kal | |
| Multichannel SACD over HDMI Not entirely so. HDMI 1.2 and above have the capability for outputting DSD over HDMI but not every player will. Also, depending on the player, some prior to 1.2 will output PCM from SACD.Kal | |
| SB Touch through coax or USB to DAC? I cannot help you here as the only USB connection I tried (successfully) was that of the Ayre DX-5 player.Kal | |
| SB Touch through coax or USB to DAC? Yes but, apparently, there is no guarantee that the Touch's USB mod will work with all DACs. For that reason, I would not put all my e$$s in the USB basket.Kal | |

| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's It is difficult, if not impossible, to make acute comparisons to a speaker that one has not heard in 2 years and it would be misleading if I attempted it.I do appreciate your interest in such a comparison and my comparisons are as site-specific as... | |
| Stupid question of the day No. The Crutchfield and RS devices are not suitable except to sum the output of speaker-to-line converters. The Xantech will do fine although there are many alternatives.Kal | |
| Stupid question of the day Sure. A pair of speaker-to-line adapters.Kal | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Well, I can understand objecting to excessive manipulations but flatter? I suspect that something is amiss as I have NEVER heard a mch system that is flatter than a stereo system unless it is defective!Kal | |
| Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF? You asked 2 questions:Would anyone please clarify?Clearly, if I had answered this with "Yes," it would be ambiguous.If I get a DAC with S/PDIF input and buy the appropriate cable, will the two work together?Yes. | |
