In Reply to: REVIEW: Panasonic SA-XR55 Receiver posted by thoriated_tiger on November 4, 2005 at 09:09:46:
So analog SACD must be converted to PCM, then PWM, then back to analog... and you still like the sound?? Perhaps the PCM conversion has a positive effect by diminishing the ultrasonic hash of SACD??Did you need to turn the treble down initially?
Follow Ups:
i have an onkyo DVD player (starting to break again... i just bought a sony changer for 108MHz X 12 bit video and SACD) which allows me to switch it's output between PCM and bitstream. i could hear no difference on the panasonic. that would probably confirm that it's converting everything to PCM.if it is PCM, it's the smoothest i've ever heard it! i always listened to my onkyo/onkyo setup in bitstream mode. the panasonic spanks the crap out of it top to bottom regardless.
if you're looking to do high rez audio... you might consider the SA-XR70 instead as it has an HDMI input. had i known my SA-XR55 would elevate my sound so dramatically, i would have sprung the extra $50 for HDMI. i was planning on eventually feeding the panny analogue ins to biamp maggies i wanted to get, so HDMI would have been useless.
now i don't want maggies so much anymore and will have to contend with 16/44 multichannel unless i use analogue ins. oh well. i'm still happy with my panny as-is.
