| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I forgot to mention that there is a button on the remote to select a different layer of the SACD disc should you wish to play back a different layer than you set the player to default to. | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? Thanks for the clarification.So what I am hearing you say is that UDP-205 can in fact be set up to play the stereo hi-rez layer of typical SACD which has three layers, CD, stereo SACD and MC.What I am still not clear but will try to find out, wher... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? Is there a way to program the player to read the hi-rez stereo layer of SACD rather than down mix the MC?You are reading the manual out of context. In General...SACD discs can have both a stereo layer and a multichannel layer on the same disc and... | |

I got the best tubes that Modwright offered and bought some NOS that Modwright recommeneded from Upscale Audio.Something just didn't gel despite things seeming like they should line up, on paper.I bit the bullet, cha... | |

It was not even partially satisfying to listen to in my system. Again, I've never had an experience with a component like this... | |

They seem to strive to use the latest DAC in each generation.I'd love to compare the new flagship ESS DAC in th... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I haven’t had any of the Marantz disc players but I did own the previous generations of Oppo (105D and 95). I still own the 105D.I also own a current model sacd player from another manufacturer that lists for about 17x the price of the 105D.With c... | |
| Pangea AC-9SE vs AC-9 I have a Mcintosh MC602 600 watt amp, and a C500T preamp plugged into a PS audio PPP. I was using AC-9's on all but the preamp. I tried replacing the amp power cable with an AC9 SE first. All I can say is that's all it took to get me back on the p... | |
| Pangea power cords UPDATE!See my previous review on 4-15-10...Ok, previously I had not liked the AC-9 pangea on my power amp. Subsequently, I got a PS Audio Power Plant Premier, and the sound went in the wrong direction. The soundstage was congested, fatiguing, and ... | |
