| Which of these SACD players would you choose? Tonight I did a little comparison between my Integra CD player and the borrowed Pioneer SACD/DVD player. First, I compared a burned to the standard track on the SACD on the Integra to see if there was any difference, I didn't notice anything. When... | |
| Who R U? I'm a new addition to the forum and probably won't be an active regular in the long term, but certain am enjoying being involved at the moment. I'm 32 years old, hold an engineering degree, currently work at a Navy shipyard and live in the Pacific... | |
| SACD availability Art - Are you talking about the lossless audio that now comes on most of the new blu-ray movies? As far as I know, it's essentially the same as redbook as compared to the audio having some level of compression on standard DVDs. I would agree that ... | |
| Any body have experience with OPPO BDP-80? "Why do you think the Elite will be better on SACD? And are you not going to compare?" - JfzThe Oppo is a less expensive unit with significantly more features. I realize that a more expensive unti isn't always a better sound, but it's certainly an... | |
| Any body have experience with OPPO BDP-80? I pulled the trigger on the Elite SACD player and will take advantage of their 30 day return policy if necessary. I think it will be the better SACD player and that's the main goal. | |
| Any body have experience with OPPO BDP-80? I don't see myself ever spending $2,500 on any type of CD player, simply too rich for my blood. That's nearly a factor of 10 off from what I'm spending. | |
| Which of these SACD players would you choose? I've "pulled the trigger" on the Elite based on the fact that it should have less compromises in design, has been reviewed well, I already have a blu-ray player and has several features that indicate that it's designers were working for quality. I... | |
| Any body have experience with OPPO BDP-80? So the SACD goes to the receiver via HDMI and PCM and doesn't require anything special from the receiver? | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? Jea48 - I currently have the SACD player hooked up in 2 channel analog mode so I'm not even listening to the multi-channel versions. I think most, if not all, SACDs have stereo versions. I don't really care about the multi-channel because my rear ... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? I have not as I've only had it for about a day, but I'll give it a shot. I wouldn't purchase another CD player for the single purpose of making regular CDs sound slightly better, but if I determine that SACDs are a significant improvement it would... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? "Apples and oranges......I suggest you compare the two players just using the CDs you have now. You should be able to hear a difference between the two players."Why would the SACD player make standard CDs sound different? The SACD has a much highe... | |
| Does the quality of a digital signal matter? On thing to note is that the information in one of the long and detailed articles linked in this discussion is 17 years old. My EE friend pointed out that a 2x CD player was a big deal 17 years ago. I would hope that many of the problems described... | |
| What are we really trying to replicate? If you mean that there isn't an end to audiophile's journey, that's true.I think that no matter what a person own they will eventually lose their excitement for it and think that something else sounds better when it might just be different.As for ... | |
| CD vs. Vinyl I ran my lastest theory by my friend and was shot down. His response was that test have showed that high quality cartridges can track in the range of 50khz which is significantly outside of the range of audio relevance.He did say that the effect m... | |
| CD vs. Vinyl Here's an interesting perspective, related to digital vs. analog, from my EE friend. As I've said on other threads, we discuss these topics and many more at work."Everything you hear ultimately is traduced through the fully analog mediums of speak... |
