Kirkus, thanks for your responce, I have done further research and it seems that I would need to buy a audio software program to convert the downloaded HD tracks, or in the case of RR HRX discs which come in WAV files to DSD then burn them to DVD discs to play on my SACD player. I have not looked at any specific software yet, I do not want to spend alot of money to do this, I was trying to avoid using the computer as a hard drive and sending it out to a DAC (which I do not have) and playing the tracks on my system. Based on the above quote the Sony will play these converted/burned discs.
PCM to DSD Anyone doing this?
"One spippet shared by Gus Skinas, who is still strongly associated with the SACD medium, is that DSD recordings made on the increasingly common devices from Korg and other manufacturers can be burned on to DVD-R blanks to produce discs that play on a Sony PS3 (both generations) and Sony's new 5400 SACD player. These can't be called "SACDs" as they lack the physical watermark and the DRM restrictions that are required by the SACD license. But the DSD Disc, as it is called, is a legitimate hi-rez format"
The above quote is from the RMAF show by Absolute Sound Magazine. I am wondering if I buy the high resolution tracks from HD Tracks which come in AIFF or Flac files could be converted to DSD and burned with my laptop to DVD-R as mentioned above. I have a Sony SCD-XA5400ES coming and it seems to me that instead of buying an outboard DAC with all the required technology like jitter reduction and hi res dac's I could just burn the disc's and play in my SACD player, Thoughts anyone?
