I was planning on purchasing a PS audio player, but then this happened so been trying to figure out what to do longterm. I have a Bryston DAC with HDMI so at least I can use universal players, and may just buy one of the latest and be done with it. I listen exclusively to classical and love the releases coming out of Japan. Esoteric and Universla Japan, and of course our own Analogue Productions and BIS. I just like owning a physical copy.
SACD drive sources
With the passing of Oppo, it seems that the manufacture of SACD drives is disappearing. PS Audio has discontinued their current transport and the new transport this fall won’t support SACD (their drive was from Oppo. As someone who has a large SACD library I am concerned about the future of this format.
Other than Marantz and Esoteric, is there anyone currently building SACD drives? Also, they do not output DSD over HDMI.
Sony appears to be out. Pioneer and Yamaha still have machines with HDMI output for DSD. But who makes their drives?
Any way to know where drives are sourced from?
