SACD Player with hi-rez digital input

Hello,

There are plenty SACD Players that can accept data with sampling rate up to 95 kHz. However, I am looking for players with digital input(s) capable to accept 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz (24 bit ) data?

Thank you in advance

Hello Dob,

according to this source it should accept 24/192kHz

"Two-channel SACD player, can read SACD, CD, CD-R and CD-RW. Digital Input: RCA × 1 (input frequency of up to 24 bit / 192kHz), TosLink × 1 (input frequency of up to 24 bit / 192kHz), B-type USB × 1 (input frequency of up to 16 bit / 48kHz). "

Audioholik: Thank you very much for translation. I will cotact Esoteric again. If their Tawain importer is correct then this is what I need. If not then I will continue my search.

Thanks again

I would seriously look at the Playback Designs MPS-5 over the Esoteric. Just a personal observation of the two of course.

Technically it's not possible to pass native 24/192 through 1 rca input or 1 toslink input.

Hello Kops - yes, I am familiar with this statement. Only AES or even two ARS can trasfer 192/24. I am not engineer and thus I am unable to argue on merit.

However, I read thi statement many years ago, and since it was not written in bible and in stone and both coaxial and fiber optic may have very wide bandwidth I see no inherent reason why clever engineering and/or change in standards cannot absoultely make it possible.

For support of the above (support is not prove its just that "support" - I advise you to look into Sound Sceince Web Site. Very cleaver engineer builds music servers there (Music Vault). One of these servers "Music Vault 24-192" - can (and you can infer it from its title too) pass 24/192 data via its coaxial output. This one I am planning to use together with DAC part of SACD Player if and then I will find one I like, and .....can afford

Thank you
Rafael
P.S I hope I am right in my optimism.
