I was thinking; I really need to concentrate on getting my Sansui QRX-7001 up to 100% but I only have one CD-4 stylus (a JICO aftermarket one for an AT-15SA cartridge) and also only a handful of CD-4 discs - I want to say one Shostakovich and two test discs. The issue that I'm having is that while my Marantz CD-400 seemed to work right out of the box, when I went through the basic CD-4 setup with the Sansui, I never really got a pleasing quad sound no matter what I did with the little knobs.
Rather than playing these over and over while testing, wouldn't it be great if I could play back a digital file through a DAC and send it into my receiver that way while I'm testing, to save the wear and tear on my hardware? It would have to be higher resolution than 44.1/16 to reproduce the CD-4 carrier, I realize that, but I have several DACs that should be suitable.
Anyone know if anything like what I'm looking for exists?
Thanks!
