Kitaro: Sacred Journey of Ku-Kai      (3 of 4 found this review helpful)
  February 24, 2008

This is on the Oppo-DSD/HDMI-Yamaha3800 (pure direct one step DSD/waveform conversion)-monoblocks and Paradigm Reference v.2 complete system with the Servo-15 20Hz LFE in place. Pure enjoyment, reading the insert while listening you discover that the different bells and ambience are actually from ... more

D'accord 100%. The above reviewer is an amateur just like me, beautiful music, worth getting.
Roseanna Vitro: Tropical Postcards        (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  December 17, 2007

Beautiful voluptuous voice of the singer, some songs in Brazilian others English. Definitely worth getting, it transports you far far away with breathtaking sonic views of Rio in her fast yet melodious narration of life at the tropics. A voice Diana would envy, but very unique, this SACD shines ... more

SACD / DSD via HDMI-- what's the skinny?
August 25, 2008
Sory but the PS3 does not pass DSD as well as it does not pass bitstream for DTSHD-MA and the others. The Onkyo 605 does not do one step DSD processing, the lowest Onker that will do it is the 875. The Oppo DV-980 mated with the Onkyo 905 will do the job very nicely. Hope this helps clarify things. ... more
NEW Marantz AV Preamp/Processor Passes DSD thru HDMI
August 25, 2008
How about my Onkyo Pro PR-SC885 and his Integra 9.8 twin? I've been doing this for a year and right now i have mine on $20 Canare/Neutrik-gold XLRs courtesy of a very professional ebayer by the name of Nyproaudio. The big question is whether the DSD decoders in the Marantz have a better dynamic range than the Onkyo/Integra/Denon processor crop to ... more

Best online DVD-Audio Forum? Best places to find SACD's & DVD-A's? Is Stereo SACD a waste?
May 11, 2008
"Is SACD stereo a waste?" Imagine that my father still cherishes his LP played on a cheap 1970ies Czech Tesla stereo system, while my affluent neighbor Stateside has tube monoblock amps, a suspended tonearm with a cartridge that costs double than my processor, not to mention the shock absorber containing isolation and decoupling platform and ... more
SACD / DSD via HDMI-- what's the skinny?
March 14, 2008
I wholeheartedly agree. We see an army here defending their investments along with the virtues of analog or MPCM, when we all know these involve multiple conversions. I also have an Oppo980-DSD/HDMI-Yamaha3800 and the sound is fabulous on my separates system. One conversion, the DSD decoder,receiver in Pure Direct, then analog to amplifiers. ... more
