adhoc 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2003 (edited) er super newbie question, but where can you find dvd-a, hdcd, sacds in singapore? can any computer hardware burn sacds? or more importantly, playback sacds? Edited June 4, 2003 by adhoc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lengcm 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2003 I dun think Sony will ever allow computer hardware burn of SACDs as they want a complete monopoly of the market. Baradio, $2500 is quite a good deal, it is selling for $US2000+ on the website. BTW, your X-feed is already with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2003 (edited) China. I believe tee has this cdp. There are a few Chinese products winning accolades recently eg, Opera Consonance 2.2 tube cdp and Korsun amps. Edited June 5, 2003 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lengcm 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2003 Very nice and simple design. This might be the source I am looking for. I am not too sure if I should jump into SACD. Currently my rig is quite balanced after I've changed my HD600 stock cable. That Equinox really did some wonders. Mackie, what are your recommendations regarding SACD ?

Currently my rig is quite balanced after I've changed my HD600 stock cable. That Equinox really did some wonders. Mackie, what are your recommendations regarding SACD ? My recommendations? Hold on to your horses. SACDs aren't cheap and they are not necessary superior over the conventional cds in all recordings. Although SACDs give a wider and 3D sounstage, some of them do sound with a hole in the middle ie, center imaging is hollow. I agree this format is nearest to the analogue sound but it is not an industry standard yet. DVD-A, a more proven technology, has greater resolution and capacity and this may supersede SACDs in the future. In addition, if U wish to get a SACD player which does redbook (conventional cd playback) well, prepare to pay high prices. At a given price range, most SACD players tend to sound inferior in redbook relative to a conventional cdp of the same price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2003 Lengcm, how about describing the differences between the stock HD600 cable & the Equinox replacement or any others you may have used? I'm curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
