I have the same problem with the kw sacd not reading sacd's. Everything that I have searched says that nothing can be done. I'm told that the primary problem is the faulty chips in the transport system.
So what I want to know is - supposedly the kw cd/sacd player has a great (claimed by some as world class) dac section - it has both SS and valve outputs - therefore why can't the unit be modified to use an external transport ???
The player has digital outputs but no digital inputs, but surely a competent technician could rewire those outputs ( I can see no earthly reason for using the sockets as outputs?) to become inputs and tap into/sever the feed from the internal transport.
You would completely disconnect the internal drive.
Now it would not have to be an expensive player to use as the transport. I have a Sony sacd player that has digital outputs and that would be good enough for me.
Can anyone tell me if I am on the right track ?
I am not super technically up on digital systems but I think I am correct ??
