Most reorts we get say the RBCD performance is improved EVEN more than the SACD performance.
You would have to read some of the reviews on our website, and look for the many reviews here on HiRez forum.
No, they do not convert the RBCD PCM signal to pure DSD, but they do convert it to bitstream, which is sort of the same thing, just not a 2.8MHz. Our Upgrades work on the complete signalpath, so both SACD and RBCD are greatly improved.
I believe an Upgraded SCD-1 or (better still) a SCD-777ES is the best sounding player I have heard, and certainly the best sonic hit for the $$ available.
The only better RBCD sound Ihave heard is from an equally Upgraded Esoteric DV-50 we did for the president of Gensisi Speakers, but it's SACD performance wasn't as good as the SONY. They both have excellent transports and great engineering, I put that difference down to the design philosophy, the Esoteric using a chip set thathas PCM as the focus, with DSD/SACD as a sideline. The SONYs are SACD forcussed.
