Thank you and you're welcome. There are also ways to rip the SACD layer (google "how to rip a SACD") and convert the stereo DSD to 24bit/88.2kHz flac files which can then be played using a Transporter or Touch. Again no need for a silver disc player. In addition, many of these new SACD releases and older SACD releases as well are slowly finding their to HDTracks and other download sites as either 24bit/88.2kHz and/or 24bit/176.4kHz flac files for purchase (at greatly inflated prices, I might add). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
