One good thing about Oppo players, particularly the older ones, which at one time I used before I got into file playback, is that they can pass full resolution of DVD-A via the coax digital output. I'm talking about something like my old BDP-83. I have a (solid state) modded one, I keep in the...

Paul - have not followed the pricing closely but knew they were up there. I actually was considering selling mine (and might - it's not that I don't like it - I just don't have use for all its capabilities - it's that way with all of my Oppos which have always been primarily just for video). I...

The other choices for DVD-A are an old Oppo player (my old BDP-83 passes 192kHz from the coax digital out - I generally don't do disc playback but it is there if I have a hi-rez Blu-Ray and want to listen to hi-rez 2-channel via my DAC) or to rip them. One of the many reasons I ended up with...

The version has high ratings so I'm sure it's good. Been trying to catch up on the non-classical things (and I probably have 30-40 classical things I bought that I just have not gotten to yet - went on a buying spree when I had tons of things on the wishlist and have not caught up) on my wish...

Just got three (24-96) High Res Downloads: By The Way, I Forgive You - Brandi Carlile Vanished Gardens – Charles Lloyed & The Marvels (w/ Lucinda Williams) Melodic Canvas – Robin McKelle

Mike - not sure what resolution of Thriller you got (lots of times they sell 24/88 derived from the DSD file - I have the DSD file extracted from the SACD for quite some time). If one looks at this - http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=&album=thriller you can click on the album...

Mike - you only get those codes when you sign up for the email subscription. I generally throw a bunch of stuff on my wish list and then when they have a big sale I do a little bit of research including looking at http://dr.loudness-war.info/ Then I'll remove some things that are just not the...

I downloaded a bunch of things from HDTracks (10th anniversary sale - 25% off for a couple of days - might be the last day today - code HDDECADE25) late last night. Have not had a chance to listen yet as I'm going to back up the stuff first (and that includes a few CDs I just got as well)...

I've gotten some high rez stuff ELO - Face the Music (download 24/192) David Hazeltine Trio - The Jobim Songbook in New York (download 24/96) Carmen Gomes - Carmen Gomes Sings the Blues (download 24/352.8) The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper 50th Anniversary Blu-Ray set Christopher Cross - Christopher...

It would be nice - this file is hi-rez 24/44/1 (the sale was buy two and then get a discount so basically it was about $85 for 5 albums or 6 discs as The Who, which I owned many moons ago was a double album). So far I've listened to the Amos Lee and Tajmo and am happy with the purchases. Had...

I'll probably be buying that soon. I've bought a bunch of downloads. Latest ones a couple of nights ago Amos Lee - Spirit The Who - Live at Leeds Dave's True Story - Sex Without Bodies Diana Krall - Turn Up The Quiet Taj Mahal and Keb Mo - Tajmo

I've heard (but not as yet tried) the (IOS or Android) media control App for the 103 works with the 203 (I'd imagine they will have an official one for the 203). I have played files from my NAS (including DSD) via the 203 (and 103 as well). I don't use that system tons for audio but I do have...

I just ordered 3 more SACDs (should be here later today), Jefferson Airplane's 'Surrealistic Pillow' and 'Volunteers' and Janis Ian's 'Breaking Silence.' I have not gotten around to listening to a bunch of purchases (just had the main system temporarily apart for a couple of weeks isolating a...

For me 'Stardust' is a reference track. So if there was a choice between the two I'd go with the first. I sounds as if he is right there. One of the tracks I listen to if evaluation my digital playback, whether it is changing USB cables or software settings.

Did listen to Bat Out of Hell last night (on the main system - below) and enjoyed it. Enjoyed hearing the big hits plus 'Heaven Can Wait' in DSD. While it hasn't made its way to the Dynamic Range Database (http://dr.loudness-war.info/) yet (I didn't check it out) someone here did -...

The Nat King Cole Story is excellent as are the other Nat King Cole SACDs I have.

Received my Bat out of Hell SACD but have not had a chance to listen to it. Will probably burn the DSD file and get to it by the end of the weekend.

Just about all, if not all (at least the ones I've heard), of the Pentatone discs sound really excellent. I've not even tried the multi-channel yet (I have a secondary system I usually use for that).

Also listened to this about a week back in 24/48 stereo - http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Eric-Clapton-and-Steve-Winwood-Blu-ray/5349/ Sounded excellent. Have not had a chance to get through all of it in surround yet.

The Amazon wish list is a great tool. Not only shows you price drops but I view it on my phone sometimes if I'm out. One day about a year and a half I was out and had this on my wish list -...

Yes - I have the Mellencamp CD/DVD. Also have the Joni Mitchel album and several 24/96 downloads of others. Neil Young's Greatest Hits also has a similar CD/DVD package.

Interesting bit of Trivia about the remaster - "Due to a miscommunication, Kevin Gray was incorrectly listed as the mastering engineer for this title. Album jackets contain this misprint and will be fixed for future pressings." It was out previously (on SACD) but didn't get good reviews -...

Had a brief listen on a secondary system to samples from the DSD files from the 5 SACDs noted in post 2983 above. They all sounded really good. Only a brief listen and not on the main system (hurricane prep - patio furniture in front of the main system). Hopefully everything holds from around...

There are sites but I'm not aware of everything in one place. Pause and Play is one site (mostly for CDs) and sometimes they have stuff about SACDs but not often. The problem is that vs. DVDs and Blu-Rays hi-rez music is basically a commercial failure (just not mainstream in the same manner as...

Mike - thanks for the info. My 5 SACDs I posted earlier are on the way. Audio Fidelity also has a few things coming soon - https://audiofidelity.net/category/sacd I picked up another SACD and extracted the DSD file - Mighty Sam McClain 'Give it up to Love.' I had a (4TB) hard drive (with...
