How do you get the SACD layer of a hybrid disk onto the NW-ZX1 so it will play?
1967346
Well first u need a CD drive that can read SACD, then extract the audio on ur computer. Since NW-ZX1 doesn't support the music in DSD form, u need to extract the audio to the form that zx1 support (such as WAV, FLAC, AAC). If u wish to play DSD music (the audio form in SACD) directly, u can choose Sony D100 or NW-ZX2 (not on stock yet)

Hello,Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path. Based on that, it has digital inputs (2 digital optical, 2 digital coaxial, 1 AES/ EBU, and 1 USB) and no analog inputs. So unfortunately you would not be able to run an analog input into the DAC. If your SACD player does have one of the digital ports, you can connect it out of the CD player into the XDA-2. If you are wanting to run the XDA-2 into the SACD player I am unaware if that is possible, you will need to check with your SACD player manufacture to confirm.Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. I hope you have a great rest of the day. Hello,Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path.

The CD 6004 does NOT play SACD. But the Marantz CD8004 does play SACD.Charlie

That is not something that is a drive dependency as far as I know. That is a software restriction. I have never tried playing anything but US disks.

thx. Well, I ordered the unit, the price is just too good. I just need it for music, no video at all. I own one SACD disc, and will post back here when I learn if it plays it or not.

I don't know. I have only copied single layer discs. I'm sorry I can't provide a better answer.

From the user manual: "1.1 Features 1. Convert DTS/AC3 source digital audio to analog 2.0 ch stereo audio output" -- The device does this quite well, although I did have to trim back the sampling rate of the optical output on my computer a bit to avoid some distortion. However it sounds like this is not what you are looking for. What you want would be probably be a true decoder, which means plenty of $$$$

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

The only cds played on it as far as I know are 1D cds that were purchased. What else did you have in mind? Maybe I can try them for you.

The only way to rip SACD has been using a PS3 with YellowDog Linux. Only the early PS3 "fat" systems could boot linux separately, and only those have SACD playback. I bounced by a web site that was selling a DSD DAC and advertising SACD ripping, so you can go that route if you choose. I've read that the AK120 will play SACD when placed on the drive, but please double-check before purchase. DSD to PCM would not be a bit-perfect conversion (it's a re-encode), and would depend quite heavily on the quality of the conversion algorithms, plus the number of converters are limited. Apparently NuForce DACs now (falsely) advertise "DSD Playback over USB" but it's via Fubar 2000 pre-converting the DSD to PCM.

Is it possible to upload to Sony BDP-S560 codec software to allow it to read european blue-ray disks?

I can find no option to switch between SACD and CD layers. The s570 automatically makes that decision for you. You can have it default to SACD and DSD, but, if the s570 decides to play an SACD as a CD, there is no way to tell it to do otherwise. And, when TDSOTM plays as SACD, that is no gurantee it will play as a SACD when stopped and restarted.I am hoping Sony can fix it and not just tell me I have a dirty SACD.

It works fine with hi-res from a SACD disc played on Oppo93 player connected to my Hegel DAC

I have mine loaded on my computer and play it that way. I do not know whether you can play it any other way.

As far as I know it does. I have a few sacd's by the kinks on that format and it had no problem playing on the c-7030 I borrowed from an adiophile friend. Am still away on Xmas sabbatical but will check when I return next week or I will try to speak with him beforehand.
