Best sacd player

Hi 711smilin,
I'm in Highland park. In 6 months or so I will have a dedicated room. For now, everything is a mishmash. I had the SCD-1, unmodded and the Accuphase DP-85. Neither can hold a candle to the Dac6, CDSD and Switchman that I have now. I had the highly regarded CTC Blowtorch, a superb preamp and am now happily using the Switchman as my primary controller. I also run my home theater and soon my analog system through it.

Is the switchman better than eg Levinson ref 32,atc sca2,meridian,halcro,bat etc and other similar preamp gear?
ps-for stereo and multichannel applicatios?

Alex -what preamp do you use with the Denon?

David, Good luck with the construction. Lets get together for some tunes, neighbor. I will email you my info. Thanks again

Nreddy, no preamp is required for the Denon, or any other player with my DAC board inside. The attenuator control is done in the digital domain inside the DAC (remote controlled). This eliminates all problems with analog preamps and attenuators. You can also change fast and slow digital roll off for PCM digital filter and absolute phase by pressing a button on the remote.

Regards,
Alex
