That is how I feel about my ($5K) Sony SCD-1 Player... It plays SACDs very well, but its sound quality is not up to today's standards... :)

Paul, as you know living in S America makes products get really expensive and also a bit of an ordeal getting to import them, sort out customs etc. Already got my LanR, my DS Junior etc but in order to take the "plunge" and order one of these through your dealer in Argie (S&K) one has to really do the research, investigate, scrutinize etc especially if one doesn't possess enough deep pockets. Was wondering if there are any more vids on the Memory Player or you guy are planning to shoot one more?

It's cool you can play SACDs with an external DAC with this thing. I'm skeptical about how much improvement you can get from another re-clocking/buffer stage before the DAC, although I imagine there is SOME change for probably mysterious reasons. If jitter is the real issue, I would be more concerned with with the DAC, electrical interference, and even the digital cable. And I'm sure this is a fine product.

do you believe that dac will make a miracle with incoming cr*p?Transport is way more important.

@chipsnmydip 3 жыл бұрын

@@vincentvin4345 Both are important, but the DAC is responsible most for the character of the sound. I agree, though, the input quality (jitter, noise, ground loops) does have a big impact on the DAC. The DAC I use now uses a fiber optic connection and that pretty well sorts out the source noise issue, even better than I2S.

@pepe6666 6 жыл бұрын

Whats the accuracy of the playback timing? I wasnt aware that inter-component RF was such an issue for discrete data signals at such low clock speeds. It sounds like clock jitter was this horrible terrible problem. Im confused because i have a 2MHz digital oscilloscope that can watch a square wave with no problem. Are mitigating techniques used by PS also used in high freq digital sco..sco..scopes? Sorry, had some jitter.

The L.P. has NEVER been the best sounding source, try good old bit stream 1 bit 2.6 MHz or higher sampling. Benn around for years. Remember the big 12" video discs? Enough of renaming old technology. 1-Bit Mhz speed sampling and playback, take a regular cd and convert it to 4 x 2.6 Mhz or more, even just 2.6 Mhz 1-bit format and then replay it with a bitstream decoder. Poof, it will sound better. Think about it 1-bit audio can be closer to analogue than multi-bit audio. It is a math and physics thing.
