Default SACD Player Recommendation

The alleged superiority of the SACD over DVD-A is just
more snake oil. In fact SACD has less dynamic range for
music than either 192/24 or 96/24 DVD-A.


Arny continues to extoll the merits of S/N as if a) that
is all that matters, and b) it doesn't matter where such
S/N lies, in or out of the audible spectrum.


Just goes to show that Harry doesn't know the difference between dynamic
range and S/N. Pitiful.

AS to dynamics, as opposed to dynamic range.....take a
look at the 3us impulse response on the following
charts....notice which one mimics the actual
impulse...both height (strength) of the impulse and lack
of pre-ripple and time-smear.


That's not is not about dynamics at all Harry, that is bandwidth. Thanks for
showing that you don't know the difference between performance in the
amplitude domain (dynamics) and frequency domain (bandwidth).

Notice that this holds
true even against 352kh/32bit DXD pcm processing. Notice
that this holds true whether or not we are speaking of
64fse DSD (SACD) or 128fse DSD (mastering). It is
inherent in the technology. Notice also that the
inherent higher noise of SACD (a so-called detriment)
takes place well above 20khz and peaks at -80db. Even Arny will have
trouble arguing that those
are audibly significant (although that doesn't keep him
from using them to belittle SACD).


Harry, where are the results of your reliable listening tests supporting the
existance of any audible differences between any of these formats? If these
formats differ as much as you seem to claim, you should be able to readily
demonstrate the difference with your ears, and your audio system.

Meaningless, since this is the performance of a certain commercial product,
and not necessarily representative of the inherent properties of the
respective formats.

BTW Harry's URL is wrong, the correct URL is
http://www.digitalaudio.dk/ax24_present.htm . Speaks to the care with which
Harry does his analysis.
