Huh?Meitner, EMM-Labs, Playback designs, Ayre, Chord, Lampizator, Ressonessence,Antelope, etc...all are among the "better" Dacs and do DSD. I think MSB does too and its rumoured that Weiss will support DSD soon.
I believe I clearly caveated my statement by saying that I could be wrong.The ones you mentioned are pretty new to DSD.
...Fourth, I love to find that "person" that appreciate good SACD playback...and while the OPPO has all the bells and whistles, most of us dedicated audiophiles, have separate Video and Audio systems or set ups. I for one do. So, the BD playback and the HDMI and multi-channel of the OPPO and price is nice, but is it really needed? Wouldn't it be better to focus your resources on the things you want instead of spreading too thin? I know the OPPO is well received, but I've read reviews and heard the OPPOs and though they are "nice" for the money, I don't think they do "music" justice, IMHO.So, who out there wants a "reference SACD/CD" player?
About the only thing I use a physical media player to do anymore is play movies and stream Netflix and Hulu. All the music is ripped to my music library. Bluray, DVD, SACD, redbook, vinyl rips, it doesn't matter, it all goes in the library and I can listen to what I want, when I want, and no worries about whether the physical media is supported or not.
Your unit may not be selling just because of the general state of the economy. Are you open to the idea of shipping out of the USA? I have tried to sell 2 items in the past 6 months (each for about a grand), lots of tire kickers in the USA, but genuine interest from Asia. I had never shipped overseas yet and decided to skip it. I have a combo CD/SACD/DVD Sony that fills the need. But if it failed, I don't think I would buy another SACD machine to play the 12 disks that I have.
None. The only other tubed DSD Dac is an Italian one. Ted posted the lind in the DSD Dac thread back in January.Not sure if its a true tube implementation or just a tube ouput section stuck on as a retrofit.Edit: Here -Well, Norman, looks like Lucasz won't have the worlds first DSD tube DAC after all...http://www.lector-audio.com/digitube-dsd.htm
Maybe I will get an old Garrard TT. I want as much as I can afford!!!
Somehow I thought that the simple $1,100 Eastern Electric Tube DAC Plus had a tube output ( ps it does)http://www.stereomojo.com/EASTERN%20ELECTRIC%20TUBE%20DAC%20PLUS%20REVIEW.html/EASTERNELECTRICTUBEDACPLUSREVIEW.html
But it doesn't do DSD which is what this thread is about.
not DSD
