New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Re: Your impressions of DVD-A vs. SACD....

i am not sure, but i thought the 47Ai (which i think was the first player to support i.LINK) was released before the specs for transmitting DSD via IEEE1394 was finalised, and i seem to recall pioneer resampled DSD to PCM 88.2kHz since the output was meant to be directed to the 49TXi receiver (which had BB1704 DACs that did not support DSD).

of course, i could be completely wrong on this, since i don't own the player. are you able to verify - is your receiver able to report whether it is receiving DSD when you play SA-CDs? My old Denon had a status button which did this (very handy when I was playing with my HTPC and trying to get it to output 44.1).
