I have played my SACD en DVD-A titles without any problem on the Sony. But I could not play a burned DVD-A. Has anyone succeeded with this? I want to burn 24/192 wavs on DVD-A (I have a bunch of blancs lying around).
Burned dvd-a or sacd never worked on my X800. the version 2 is identical to original X800 with the addition of Dolby Vision. 99.9% chance says the version 2 will not play burned discs.I have played my SACD en DVD-A titles without any problem on the Sony.

Yes only DVD-V, I've played burned DVD-video but no success with burned DVD-A.The manual states that DVD+/-R and DVD+/-RW can be played provided that the disc is mastered and finalized. Apparently this only goes for DVD-V and not DVD-A?? Is this functionality crippled in the firmware? Is there someone in the know who can clarify this? Answers are much appreciated.
Could you just not put those on a BD-R as a data disc? This would give you 25 GB to work with for less than $1.I have played my SACD en DVD-A titles without any problem on the Sony.

Doesn't need to be outrageous, if your requirements are burned DVD-A an Oppo 93 or 95 will do the job. If the firmware is old enough they will even play burned SACD.I mean, if I have to save up the outrageous money for an Oppo on eBay, I guess I will, but...
I own this (the newer M2 version) and can confirm that it will not play my burned DVD-A discs. It plays just about everything else. My workaround for this is to create FLAC versions of the albums I have on burned DVD-As and play them through a USB thumb drive on the Sony. Workaround #2 is I still have my ancient Oppo 83 that will play these burned DVD-A discs. (But my Oppo is on its last legs and seems to be having trouble reading discs more and more frequently, so I am relying on the Sony more now.)Sorry to necro an old thread, but the X800M2 is my current player. I can't test it right now (my HT gear is all disconnected and stored while we renovate), but if it won't play burned media, what are the options out there? Anything currently being manufactured/sold that can play the burned DVD-A (or SACD) discs?

Fair! I was sort of hoping to only have one disc spinner in my cabinet, but it stands to reason that there's no one perfect player (although the Oppos came close). Heck, the X800M2 has another flaw: manual switching for Dolby Vision. Not a dealbreaker; just annoying.Doesn't need to be outrageous, if you're requirements are burned DVD-A an Oppo 93 or 95 will do the job.

Sony gonna Sony.Burned SACD is hard to get playback of, the Blu Ray forum made it a licencing requirement that those won't play.
Yeah, my next step is looking into ways I can rip/convert/play. Ideally I'd like to put all my multichannel music on my NAS.I own this (the newer M2 version) and can confirm that it will not play my burned DVD-A discs. It plays just about everything else.

At least we have Blu Ray to replace DVD-Audio, although it isn't a full replacement as Blu Ray can't do 44.1KHz and multiples of it. On the other hand Blu Ray can do lossless hi res multi channel audio with 1080p video (and better on 4K blu ray), which is considerable compensation for potentially having to sample rate convert the audio.It seems that DVD-Audio is a dead format. Now you have to be careful as when DVD-Audio is mentioned often DVD-Video is actually being referred to!
I don't think I've ever run into a commercial DVD-Audio with 44.1/88.2 kHz sampling. It must not be very common. Or you you speaking about the authoring aspect?At least we have Blu Ray to replace DVD-Audio, although it isn't a full replacement as Blu Ray can't do 44.1KHz and multiples of it.
Loads of Oxford Dickie's quad decodes are on DVD-Audio with 44.1KHz sampling, because they were decoded from CDs so this avoids a sample rate conversion. Admittedly that isn't commercial authoring.I don't think I've ever run into a commercial DVD-Audio with 44.1/88.2 kHz sampling. It must not be very common.
