Sorry to ask this SACD question, but

What equipment do I need to play the Stereo layer on a  SACD at 176.4khz .  I have searched the forum for more than an hour and I'm stumped.  Lets say I have a https://www.crutchfield.com/p_022CD1000B/Yamaha-CD-S1000.html?search=sacd

Or a  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_033DCD1600/Denon-DCD-1600NE.html?search=sacd 


and I want to use a  Schitt Bifrost Multibit DAC,  https://www.schiit.com/products/bifrost instead of the internal DAC.  What else do I need?


What else do I need to play  SACD at 176.4khz 


Please don't flame me, I really am stumped.

Any comparisons between DSD and PCM on your SACD player?
Happy Listening!

I have been doing just that since getting a new WireWorld XLR

It depends on the recording.

I have listened to several Chesky DVD-A over the last few days after a long list of SACDs over the prior week

Even amongst the 4 Cheskys, the Livingston Taylor sounds the best

I don’t play redbook through the 105 as it sounds much better through my Marantz HD CD 1 and Audio Alchemy DAC/pre via WireWorld coak

The 105 is a jack of all trades but a master of none. That said the DVD-A and SACDs can sound really good

jafant,

<<Any comparisons between DSD and PCM on your SACD player?>>
I really don’t hear ANY difference.

very true curious

One of the things I hear in some DVD-As or SACDs sounds like congestion, which COULD be because of their much higher frequency range and my 175wpc class D simply runs out of gas in my large room.

I ordered a EVS 1200 amp (class D, 600 wpc, dual mono) check it out if you want to go to the next level class D: currently only $2200, 30 day in home PLUS free return shipping
