RE: Fully committed Computer Audio-phile with lots of sacd's

You can:

1. Modify a high quality Universal player with such as the last Pioneer series to output digital dsd as dsdR, dsdL and bit clock for playback in a compatrible dac such as the ESS Buffalo and Buffalo 2.

2. Use an hdmi auido stream splitter to get 176.k pcm output from a PS3.

3. Rip dff files from a hacked PS3 which must support sacd and have firmware below a certain version.

The last method is not easy and one is still left with the question of how good the PS3 is at the job. There is also an uncertainly about how players such as JRiver and others handle the dff files (are there pcm conversion within the software?).

Of the first 2 methods, 1 is better and sounds really good. It also saves you a lot of work.

You can search on all 3 methods but don't even think of using a cheapish sacd player.
