Cal audio ssp 2500 for SACD multi-channel

Jmpwme, have you spoken with Blue Cirlce to see what would be required. Hell, most of the old Cal audio engineering is at Adcom and they COULD do it. Big difference though between CAN and WILL:).

yes - drop an email to Gilbert at Blue Circle. He is familiar with the issue. He suggested an outboard box/pass through option.

So, does anyone know what the final verdict is? Did anyone/company state they will do it? Was Scott Morris able to produce the schematics? I'd be interested in hearing the answer as well as if anyone actually has the final product.

I absolutely love my CAL ssp2500. While I no longer use the CAL for 2ch music, as I have turned that function over to my audiomeca Enkianthus X dac and Joule LA-100 pre, I'm still impressed by the quality of the internal dac of the CAL. The CAL can, whenever one becomes available on audiogon, really make one heck of an awesome audio bargain as a surround processor, dac, and preamp.

I have another question. Does anyone know if it is possible to update the CAL SSP2500 to decode dolby pro logic 2, DTS neo6, and any of the newer surround codecs out there? I'd be really interested if anyone has any imput.

Thanks much,
Jason

No, it's not possible to update the Cal to decode Pro Logic 2, or any new formats. It would require a dsp chip change and new firmware and Cal is out of business with no one to write new firmware even if you could get the chip changed. Approved Audio Service likely has the schematics as well. Scott is extremely difficult to contact and not really doing repairs any longer.
