In Reply to: CD or CD/SACD ??? posted by JAIME ESPINOSA on December 21, 2006 at 19:10:33:
When I bought an SACD player, I compared my redbook audio through my outboard DAC vs the SACD player. My redbooks were vastly superior as the SACD could not be fed through the outboard DAC. The consensus back then from other members was that the DAC of an SACD player can ruin everything. If you are going to do it, you need to go big or go home. No sub $500 SACD player will match a $500 DAC with redbooks. And with redbook, there is freedom.Sorry, I keep looking back into SACD and I see it dying of a terminal disease. Sony isnt really interested in it IMO: the SACD website looks out dated, their release schedule is an afterthought. If you want an interesting read on differing opinions:
