Mr Hansen.... for your consideration of a new SACD player

Posted by Kenny (A) on March 3, 2007 at 18:52:07

Mr Hansen; in case you would design a new SACD player, please add the following features :

1. digital inputs : AES, coaxial, optical, that can accept 24/96
2. all digital input signals can be upsampled to DSD if wish
3. sound level same for all formats

CD is almost done done, and except classical music, there won't be anymore pop SACD's, while Blu-ray, HD-DVD, can all have high resolution PCM tracks (which is far better than a CD). So it is best to have 1-box player that can play SACD/CD while decoding the PCM tracks from Blu-ray movies/concerts or even DVD-A (for the mega bucks pre/amp 2-channel system rather than an AV amp). I cannot understand why most SACD players do not have digital inputs, nor for the very few that has, they don't upsample. I cannot believe dCS' P8i can handle only 24/48. My 6-year old Accuphase SACD player can do all those, but I have been looking for a change.
