Two Questions to Allen Wright:

Posted by RafaelDob on August 11, 2009 at 08:22:36:

Dear Allen,

As I am sure most if not all in the land of SACD are very impressed by your multi-year work's results. My congratulations. I have two questions and I suspect that number of members of this forum would be interested in your reply:

1 - It is very appealing idea to combine our SACD collections with available Hi-Rez software (e.g. 24 bit 176 kHz WAV, Reference Recording etc). The simplest and most elegant way to do it - at least seems to me is via SACD Player with very good transport, best quality possible under the budget DAC ...and digital inputs capable of accepting hi-res data from computer or stand alone music server.

The modded Sony 5400 has all of the above but digital inputs. So my question is: can you take out board(s) with unnecessary outputs ( as far I am concern - all but one) and install one high quality digital input capable of accepting hi-rez data?

2 Some SACD Players are made with all three component together: relatively good transport, DAC and hi-res inputs. I feel the best is Esoteric SA-50 but there is Cary 306 Pro and few more at $15k - $21k level which I cannot reach financially.

The question is: can your Uberclock and/or level X(?) modification be installed in other players e.g. SA-50.

SACD owners again - are the best audiophile subpolulation to be attrackted to non-SACD Hi-Res files now avaialble - because we did it already with SACD and many today's hi-res files are of "noble" heritage and legacy as well as of exceptional sonic qualities.

Thank you
Rafael
