    • If one has an Oppo UDP-205, it has a perfectly good internal DSD conversion path though. I don't see any reason to spend good money to experiment with an external DAC when my current solution meets my needs, even if it may or may not convert it to PCM first.
    • thanks, Nat Birchall says it's worse than Bird at St Nicks but better than the Joe Brazil tapes... that's pretty useful as a frame of reference "Sonically not even up to the (very) low audio quality of Bird at St Nicks. If you're a musician studying Trane it's essential listening, if you're a music fan it's not really worth shelling out for. On the other hand it's better audio quality than the 1958 jam session at Joe Brazil's and the unreleased July 17 '66 concert in Japan, both of which I've never been able to listen to for more than a couple of minutes. At least with this, and Bird at St Nicks, the sound of the horn is so strong to begin with that it shines through the otherwise severely lacking sonic landscape. Caveat emptor."
    • I love that series. I have all 123 single discs plus the sampler, the 11 "hors-serie" 2-discs, and the box sets. Still keep them together on the shelf in numerical order, which doesn't make much sense given everything else in my collection is alphabetical by artist, but I guess I just like *looking* at it as much as I like listening to it!
    • I am sure you know that, but this is a way to pass the DSD signal from a SACD player to an external DAC with I2S input. The small I2S converter box costs 80 dollars. "At Long Last! Listen To Your (Physical) SACDs Through an Outboard DAC": https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/at-long-last-listen-to-your-physical-sacds-through-an-outboard-dac-r971/page/2/#comments "With the Oppo UDP-205, one connects the “Audio” HDMI output of the player to the input of the I2S converter box (if your player doesn’t have an audio-only HDMI output, use the video HDMI output) and the output of the HDMI side of the converter box goes to the HDMI input on one’s DAC.  That’s pretty straightforward.  "
