Hello all,
I recently bought a Sony DVP-NS900V SACD player to use as a transport, having sold my Audiolab 8200CDQ (I have a pair of AVI ADM9s, so the CDQ was effectively being used as a transport, so I thought I'd free up done cash and get something else).
The Sony sounds great spinning CDs when connected optically, but I've just taken delivery of a few SACDs (Dark Side Of The Moon, Blood On The Tracks and a Police greatest hits one) as I was interested to hear the difference (if any) and the DVP-NS900V doesn't appear to be accessing the SACD layer or even recognising the fact that an SACD is in there. The display just reads "CD" and plays as usual, and admittedly sounds great, but the SACD light should be illuminated, as far as I'm aware (the "DVD" light is illuminated when a DVD is played, so it can definitely tell when a DVD is in there).
I have also played the SACDs successfully on my 5.1 home cinema kit, so I'm pretty sure it's not the discs.
Any ideas ?? It's not exactly the end of the world, as I have only these 3 SACDs, but it would be nice to hear what they'd sound like in stereo through the ADM9s, which I think sound absolutely awesome.
Thanks all,
Baz
