New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Re: It depends

My experience with this piece is that great sound can be extracted from it with a wide range of power board, transport board, and audio board mods. But it only reaches the highest level of transparency and musicality if the modifier bypasses the current pulse converter chips. This is done in Allen Wright's VSEI mod, and can also be done with a transformer output stage if implemented correctly. I am now using a transformer ouput stage connected directly to the S-TACT chip, with a custom passive filter after the transformers, and no loading resistance between the transformers and the S-TACT. This is a startling improvement and I can't imagine much better SACD or RBCD performance.
