New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

I'm answering, but not for 'diw'.. I save the files (from NativeDSD)...

...on my main computer's data-SSD and transfer them to USB sticks.. I tie a label/tag to the stick, but that's where the convenience ends, as I now have a pile of tagged USB sticks to look thru.. Turns out this is way-less convenient than retrieving SACDs.. Playing the stick is easy using my OPPO '205 DP.

Am considering some kind of fileserver and software but haven't gotten further than my fantasies.. (I do not and WILL NOT stream files.) I'm currently assembing a multichannel PS Audio-based system using a Memory Player*, a PerfectWave DirectStream DAC, and two Stellar GainCell DACs, all feeding a BelCanto 6-channel, all-analog preamp which will drive the poweramps.. I considered an Octo chip-based DAC but decided I wanted the sonic benefits of PS Audio's software DAC.. But every time (of about 3 attempts), something (such as a BelCanto remotecontrol with a broken battery lead) interrupts the process.. The player has a USB input, so this should work with served files, too.. Maybe by the end of this summer...

Meanwhile, I have much surplus audio equipment to sell!
