I'm very new to this "Hi-Rez" world so If you are looking for details on how the SACD playback sounds converted to pcm, you're looking at the wrong guy .
The Unit
Silver...nice looking thin, not heavy
Remote
Very simple and easy to use....not universal
Set-up
So many cord and wires..... @:
Once that was done I followed the on-screen instructions
And in just a few minutes I was confused...
But I think I had It figured out soon enough
SACD playback
Well since this my first SACD player I have nothing to compare it to....1st disc was The Stranger-Billy Joel. I like my music in 5:1 and boy did this sound sweet....next up was Let it Bleed-Stones...
Now my jaw is hitting my chest, It sounds so raw and fresh
Then I took a time out to get the proper "head" for DSOTM
Now I'm sitting there in stunned disbelief, this can't be my equipment, it sounds too good.
DVD-A playback
At first I wasn't that impressed...I had in Everything Must Go-Steely Dan and it didn't sound like I thought it would. But I did some adjusting and it sounded a bit better. But I'll probably wind up getting an ICBM unit...
DVD playback
Looked fine to me... I bought this Unit for the audio so I didn't really test it out with many DVD's
Other Features...
I don't have any MP3's handy so I can't tell you how it works
but I did have a CD-R of jpegs and that really worked well..looks great on my Wega.
Sorry I'm not that technical but I'm sure someone will judge this player a bit better than me.
Well worth the 180$ I paid but as in all my "tech" purchases I'll wind up spending more on hardware and software in the weeks to come.
