I thought some might be interested in this new fairly moderately priced SACD player, with extras..
I want a SACD player, that does not have a streamer or function as a DAC for other equipment and one that’s not a Blue-ray disc player with all the TV crap, I want a basic CD/SACD player, they are hard to find
The Denon DCD-1700NE seems to tick the boxes for youI want a SACD player, that does not have a streamer or function as a DAC for other equipment and one that’s not a Blue-ray disc player with all the TV crap, I want a basic CD/SACD player, they are hard to find
Agreed. The remote quality is also very important.Problem with Blue-Ray players is I do not want to add a TV screen to see track content, it’s a stereo, not a AV system, no computers either
So the USB input plays back DSD 512 directly but SACDs are converted to 88.2 PCM? Odd.Now listed at @Audiophonics

Sony locked down the SACD format to prevent people capturing/distributing the DSD streams via the digital outputs of the players. It was only happenstance that someone discovered that some Playstations could copy the DSD streams and that a few players became available with workarounds to do the same.So the USB input plays back DSD 512 directly but SACDs are converted to 88.2 PCM? Odd.
I suspect it’s two devices in the same box somehow and I think I’d want measurements to understand the how and why before buying.
The Pioneer PD-50AE is also new and available for under $1000.I want a SACD player, that does not have a streamer or function as a DAC for other equipment and one that’s not a Blue-ray disc player with all the TV crap, I want a basic CD/SACD player, they are hard to find
If you listen to the SACD directly from the device you get the content @full resolution. If you decide to use this device as a "Transport " is then /when it'll convert tge audio to 88.2pcmSo the USB input plays back DSD 512 directly but SACDs are converted to 88.2 PCM? Odd.
