Yes still just one.

Jammy did his usual as he did with Cubettes "I want it and will send you money" when pissed, and silence when sober :lol:

Macca says this weekend.

I will expect it to pick up and get to the 10 if it is going to with the next end of month wages, but if it doesn't no one loses out, you just lend me the money for a month :mrgreen: :dance:

At the top you say a good dvd transport. I'm sure that I read a manufacturer somewhere but I can't spot it now.I'm wondering if it would play SACDs (obscure, I know - I only have one and I can only play it on a DVD player.

Like several others I am fascinated by this proposal - and now that I see that it is SACD compatible (and perhaps DVD-A as well?) it starts to become very intriguing.

But - I don't need a high-end standalone CD player, what I might want is a digital-only output SACD/DVD-A transport, (with NO analogue out, internal DAC or the power supply for it) What are the chances/prices of that Doc?

It is what it is going to be, I cannot do versions.

I may be giving Terry wrong inf, I just looked at what the transport can play, all normal CD and DVD types.

No SACD on the list.

USB and HDMI out as well as phono socket for digital out and two for analogue out.

I am just going to be doing what I did in the 90s with the first nva players. Power supplies and analogue output stage.

Grrrrr, bloody hell Doc!
I've got no room for one, I don't need one as I hardly ever listen to CDs and I really shouldn't buy one, BUT I BLOODY WANT ONE ! Just because it'll be fab and also extremely rare/cool.

I'm interested Doc and would sell my Rega transport and DAC to cover the cost. Let me think over the weekend as I'm sorting-out a house move just now.

I've sent my deposit.

I'd urge anyone considering to go for it. Lots of very expensive players have the money spent on the aluminium fascia and a chunky mechanism. The rest is bog-standard. And the mech and the case have no bearing on the sound quality. The best players are those that have quality power supplies and discrete analogue output stages and if you wan that you have to buy a vintage hi-end Jap player which are expensive even used and old and hard/impossible to repair when they fail. And forget hi-res digital - it is the emperor's new clothes - sell your SACDs and just buy the damn record on cd for £2.99 - It is all in the replay, not the format.

Please don't think for a moment that Perspex cases are cheap. Good but simple metal casework bought in the hundreds or thousands is FAR cheaper on the whole, judging by the small amount of research I've done....
