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

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

P.S I hope I am right in my optimism.
My friend Mark (Hunter-1) cannot log-in here. However, he spoke with Esoteric Technical rep, Tim and indeed I was wrong. SA-50 can accept up to 192 kHz and 24 (or 32?) bits via its coaxial and optical (Toslink) S/PDIF digital interconnects.

Great!

Perrew can you measure the jitter from spdif?
Who will do the resampling and recloking?

I guess top engineers of top brands (dCS, Weiss, Esoteric, Wadia...) choose usb or firewire (along with anti-jitter devices) for hiresolution and these engineers had written history in digital the last years.
Now if this is possible and sounds good it is welcomed by me but not as an ultimate solution soundwise due to jitter-transfer problems.
