New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

RE: New Marantz. Thanks

The DAC on this unit seems interesting. According to the brief description here, it may take a similar approach to the software program HQ player, which has gotten good reviews on the computer audio forum. (At least according to my weak understanding.)

"The player doesn't stop at CD and SACD playback, and will recognize discs burned with hi-res files, or those taken from a USB source. Marantz calls the SA-10 a "clean design" product, preferring to build it from the ground up, rather than re-use established techniques, including a new way of converting digital signals over to analog. All digital signals, whether they're from a disc of file, are converted over to DSD256 — four times the sample rate SACD uses — then passed through a DSD converter before reaching the amp. Other amps down-convert to PCM, but Marantz says its way results in the purest sound."
