Really interesting question. I have same doubt but I guess that in these kind of things you blame on your system and creates some improvement fever. I am listening a Pioneer SX N30 with a Marantz cd5005 and Q3020 speakers or AKG K240 headphones. Both receiver and CD player have some kind of...

Dear iMark, Thanks a lot for your answer. I also like hybrid SACD's for the option to rip the cd layer and/or play it on CD players. Actually at this moment I don't have a SACD player but I would like to have the possibility to rip the High Resolution files or play it on a reasonable priced...

I would like to open this forum and listen your opinions regarding DSD files and SACD format. My two cents are that I like how SACD discs sounds so DSD is an improvement on my system. I have been using a basic sacd player with linn and pentatone discs for a few months on a basic player and I...

I am using a chromecast video and I guess that chromecast audio works in a same way. I recomend it as a basic streaming option. You can control it from your mobile phone and stream spotify. As you said the main difference with bluetooth is that there is a direct conexion between spotify and the...

I am completelly agree with you and that's my point. How can someone produce a noisy HIFI player to listen music? I am sure that there are good basic solutions to minimize the sound produce by the player. In addition, if you can find it on some systems, is it really so expensive to use it in...

Actually it has been a noisy player since I bough it. I would say it was a noisy player but I could live with it. However the mechanic sound gets louder randomly with different discs. Sometimes it gets better when you open and close the tray, so I agree that the problem is the transport. On the...

Hi everybody, I am sorry to introduce myself on this way but I want to share my experience with my Pioneer PD30 SACD player. I hope it can provide some advice in case you are looking for a CD or cheap SACD player. Although it sounds really well the player makes a strong mechanical noise...
