Sacd Player how they work .

[duckland 23]

Hi I was wordering How sacd players or Blu-ray players process the sound with your receiver , I own a denon 2809ci receiver and a Sony BDP-2000ES . My Sony ES Blu-Ray Player wont handle SACD , but I am running it thru HDMI . What Im getting at for the receiver to properly process the sound in multi channel sound how would it sound and whats the difference from My receiver processing it under Dolby Pro Logic 2x .For some reason Sony didn't make that player So she could process Multi channel sound from the sacd .But Don't get me wrong it sound very good as it is , I was wondering will it sound better If the player can process the multi channel sound and the receiver would take over that do the rest . Do You need a special receiver will HDMI do the job right . How will it work . Cant someone explain it to me . I like the sound . But I only wish I could get a 5 or 6 disc changer that could handle Blu-ray and sacd support . I don't think they make one . I like the changer for playing sacd and Red book compact Disc ,But don't want to have just a sacd changer for that .

I'm wondering what any of this has to do with SACD? :headscrat

The Sony BDP-2000ES doesn't play SACDs and nowhere do you mention what, if any, SACD player you have?

Your Denon AVR will do native DSD decoding from HDMI, to use this you would need to find a player/changer that will ouput DSD over HDMI. I found a partial list of such devices HERE..

@OldSchool

I know that the Sony BDP-2000ES wont play SACD'S. Well My point was how will my denon process it ,. Wiill it process it as PCM signal or some other way .Right now Im using Dolby Pro Logic 2x to process it .But I don't think Im hearing all the sound from the SACD on my Sony BDP-2000ES Player .The reason Im saying this is because the players not reading the HD Tracks on the disc just the Red Book CD Tracks . I wouldn't mine getting a denon player , I seen them fro 500.00 bucks and she will play Blu-ray and SACD too, or I can go with Marantz for 600.00 .I don't think Im going to buy any other brand OPPO is out of the question there too much money for me at this time .

Yes that the way I have it set . But am I getting the disc to read the multi track format on , the HD layer part of it . Wont it sound a lot better when the player is playing back the HD portion of tit . I looked at Page 11 that's the way my receiver is playing the cd back and Dark Side Of The Moon sound very good . But Im wondering scene My player cant read the The Hd format part of the disc Will there be a big improvement over it processing it the way is is presently In Dolby Pro Logic 2X . But I must say that The sound coming out of the Sony BDP-2000ES is fantastic , Its a lot better than the Pioneer laserdisc player I had back in 1996 with the 5 compact Disc option .But I would really like to have a 5 or 6 Disc Blu-ray changer , I don't think they make them .I never seen a 5 disc Blu-ray changer .

So what is your question?
A SACD player can output straight DSD if your receiver can decode straight DSD, if not it gets resampled to PCM 24/88, some receivers can decode DSD through the HDMI connection while others are analog connections, the sound quality varies depending on the master used to create the SACD disc

There you go. I am assuming you are playing a hybrid SACD in your Sony player and your Denon receiver is getting the PCM bitstream off of the CD layer.

A brand-new Oppo 103 is only $500.00, and will play both Blu-ray and SACD. Not to mention it has both analog multi-channel outputs and HDMI outputs to maximize your connection options.
