Of course not. It doesn't play any burned media. It can play the files from a media server in DSD format though.I
have the same but mine won't play back 4.0 sacd's. Yours will?

I cant speak for the Jeff Beck, but the DV discs have silent center and sub channels, so equipment sees it as 5.1, even though its truly 4.0. I believe the AF SACDs are the same way.I wasn't referring to burned media. Meant commercially available discs like Beck's Blow by Blow or any DV discs. It doesn't even recognize the discs.

Same. It is annoying that it plays 4.0 FLAC in stereo, but I use the Music Media Helper tool to quickly convert them to 5.0.I've had no issue with DV SACD's on my Sony X800.

Any player that can read and play multichannel SACDs should never have an issue with a quad SACD. My guess is that the issue lies with the receiver.
I'm pretty sure that mono and 3.0 SACDs are actually stereo and 5.0 SACDs, respectively, with doubled/blank channels.SACDs have five available channel configurations:
So, a quad SACD may be authored as either 5.0 w/silent C or 5.1 w/silent C and LFE. Any player that can read and play multichannel SACDs should never have an issue with a quad SACD. My guess is that the issue lies with the receiver.
- Mono
- Stereo
- 3.0
- 5.0
- 5.1
PCM is a different matter. I know some Sony Blu-ray players have issues with playing back 4.0 PCM properly. They might also have issues with 4.0 DSD files for the same reason, but no SACD contains 4.0 DSD, so that's not the issue.
According to Sonic Studio, you're right about 3.0 and I'm probably wrong about mono:I'm pretty sure that mono and 3.0 SACDs are actually stereo and 5.0 SACDs, respectively, with doubled/blank channels.
