New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

RE: strange SACD problem

Thanks to everyone who had suggestions about my SACD problem. I remain mystified, after some further investigation.

1. A new copy of the SACD exhibits the same problem. I think this rules out dirt or other contamination.
2. No other SACD that I have tested seems to have the problem.
3. I moved my OPPO 203 from the HT room to the main music system and tried the SACD there.
Same problem. I think this rules out the Marantz.

Perhaps I was wrong that on Sunday the disc was fine. The noise is not noticeable at low levels, but becomes very noticeable as soon as I turn up the volume to realistic levels (which I don't usually do).
My conjecture is that some HF junk on the disc overloads the OTL amps beyond a certain level.
