In Reply to: SACD to HDMI to ??? to external DAC? posted by Stimpson J. Cat on October 24, 2016 at 22:37:12:
When you output via HDMI, does that not effectively bypass the internal sound circuitry of the player and you wind up hearing the DAC etc in your amp/receiver?
Does this mean that there is no point in spending big bucks on a player, or does it mean you should never use HDMI, but rely on analogue output unless you have a high end external DAC?
And for SACD, it sounds like you MUST go analogue out to hear them, again unless you have a highpriced DAC capable of decoding them
