There are plenty of SACD for sale on ebay. https://www.ebay.fr/i/183037937253
Like others have mentioned mojo + CD is good enough, unless you want the sacd 5.1 experience.
Crazy! no way Im paying $175 for a cd, lol. so I guess Im seeing that there was no real benefit to buying the WM1A, had I of know I get same quality on my iphone I wouldnt have bought it, I thought I was going to get awesome better quality on the WM1A, lol, oh well live and learn

Diminishing returns mate, diminishing returns.

New Sony turntable can rip vinyl,which support dsd, I think it’s 300 or something now,that would be a better choice than 175 bucks for one single cd.

Honestly, standard CD (AKA Redbook) 16 bit 44.1khz (and .flac files of the same resolution) really do sound surprisingly good through Chord DACs. So much so, that I would be more concerned about finding a well-mastered version of an album rather than whether it is higher res than Redbook.

DSOTM is available very cheaply on CD - e.g.: www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004ZN9RWK


If you want to find the best mastered CD version of this album, that is generally considered to be the Japanese 'Black Triangle' pressing, but it's as rare as hens' teeth, to purchase (it does exist in .flac format, in the shadowy regions of cyberspace, but I wouldn't recommend taking that risk).


Some further reading, on the topic of .DSD:

thanks all! I found a “Japan black triangle” copy of dsotm in Germany for $70 shipped so I got it

Just for general knowledge is it best to find digital remastered versions of albums for high res devices? I pretty much only listen to oldschool classic rock

I'm having a weird issue with foobar and asio with windows 10. Sometimes when I stop playing music the globe that indicates sample rate changes from redbook to another colour (orange I think) and ASIO fails to work brining up a foobar error box. I have to change foobar settings to WASAPI, play a track to get the globe to change to red and then go back to ASIO in settings.

Has anyone has this before?

Im new to high res music, I have a Sony WM1A, I dont have any high res music yet, Im just asking where I can buy Pink Floyd in DSD or FLAC? I tried to get music from other people but they dont come through after they said they would share, no problem, I dont have a problem buying the music, but where? I cant find dsotm anywhere

16.44 is high resolution, find the original U.K. first press CD, rip to WAV and play back through a Chord DAC. You won’t care about 24/96 or DSD from there onwards.

I got sick of the Apple cable crapshoot, and decided I had waited long enough for Poly to mature - So I bought a Shanling M1 and updated the firmware so I can use Hibylink app on my phone.

It's great! 200gb of FLAC on an SD card, and it's been rock solid so far. The only downside is that current firmware doesn't allow power auto shut-off.

Effective 26000 taps, same as Hugo. If Mojo runs the same speed as Hugo, it would've had 52000 taps

i thought if mojo runs same speed as hugo you still have 26k taps but here they would be fully utilised. not a doubling of taps.

so is it 52k taps in mojo or more like hugo 2's 49k somin?
