Hi,
Thanks for responding....
I don't have an issue with my player currently....
Of over 30,000 songs, - less that .05% is classical in my realm.
No one is making SACDs of any significance now: and what they are making are very limited production (extremely derivative or re-make) of past work that was on vinyl. The most popular is 70s rock for wealthy 70+ year olds. In general, classical music SACDs, don't go out of print as fast as the more popular runs. That is just fine, - but it doesn't bode well for an industry that has died due to many reasons beyond the lack of acceptance of higher resolution discs. The winning argument has always been, (for the scale to make SACD a viable format, - the general public has no interest).
On one hand it is great that all major record labels would perish from this earth. But, - my point was that the absence of discs, and new FPGA tech can turn EVERYTHING into DSD and the products will have this different process of D/A conversion. The more popular is the PS-Audio DirectStream DAC.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
