[QUOTE="sajunky, post: 957712, member: 22308"] For few discs is not worth. Get it ripped to the DSD ISO file or convert to 24/88.2kHz or 24/176kHz FLAC files with absolutely no loss in quality. For a decade SACD physical disk format is completely dead, BlueRay discs use PCM for audio and home theatre (compressed) content. LINN initially had Super Audio Collection sampler series in SACD. Since the Vol 5 (2011) it is also available in 24/96kHz, I have both. More recent volumes are distributed electronically in 24/192kHz format. DSD electronic format is not dead, but with modern DAC's it offers no advantage to the PCM. You need a good DAC though, as conversion from DSD is no brainer and very cheap DAC can achieve good results. In the case of PCM, the most popular delta-sigma decoding method has still unsolved issues. [/QUOTE]
