busht4169 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Oh my goodness. So, I decided to see what's up with the DSD formats. Using my newer Reference Premiere 280's and the DSD 128 format, I discovered that digital sound is really making strides! Now, my SC-91 Elite Receiver is capable of decoding DSD 256, however, I must research to see if it can do DXD. I understand high bit-rate does not necessarily = better sound. But, I am a vinyl listener too. And this DSD format is as close as I have come to true analog fidelity thus far. Using Beethoven's Symphony #5, I felt as though I was at the performance. And this was 2-channel listening. Oh my! I can't wait to test multi-channel. We shall see! Praise be to Klipsch for excellent quality sound! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Have you compared it to PCM? I really need to try some SACD concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busht4169 Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Have you compared it to PCM? I really need to try some SACD concerts. Not yet. Very new to the sound format. It is on my current list of stuff to try, that and Multi-Channel DXD which I just found out my Elite can decode. Luckily the Sabre DAC is good in the Elite, so I can try these things. My old Denon would have died trying. I will respond with feedback on PCM when I try later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
