After small mishaps with the Netgear 9100, unable to provide an audio digitally corrected to 88 kHz, I decided to switch to a multi-format player. The Netgear is still an excellent all-purpose video and for the 44 or 96 kHz.
The choice fell on Cambridge Audio DVD99 reader, a multiformat currently on sale, the maximum expression DVD era, as regards the possibilities of reading and decoding. Of course, the compressed digital audio soundtracks does not count as high fidelity, but has much more ability to read all the high-resolution formats, DVD-Audio and SACD.
The market for DVD-Audio is virtually non-existent for years, even lower than that of the SACD, already modest in size, and probably close to total disappearance.
However, having now taken the road of music liquid high-definition DVD-A returns very useful: it is possible to eliminate the multimedia player (such as Netgear) as a digital source and use a DVD-burning software Audio, DVD-Audio only , for all content up to 24 bits and 192 kHz.
Now, the digital input of my DAC does not support more than 108 kHz, but it turns out that almost all the music high-definition liquid reaches the maximum at 96 kHz, even for matters of download size, the DAC's internal DVD99 support the 192 kHz anyway, in case of need.
The first listening tests, however, are much in favor of the external DAC, as a machine of an entirely different caliber than the DVD99.
Surprisingly, the Musical Fidelity A3/24 DAC has been a strong purchase to the time and technology progresses, when it seemed that all lead to the adoption of the Super Audio CD as the standard of the future. The stream of data at a bit of SACD, DSD, would have made unnecessary presoché my external DAC.
The DVD99 is also an SACD player, even if it has no DSD converters, but the tenth DSD input signal to 24 bits and 192 kHz, and then send it to converters.
The solution is by no means contemptible, but for now, the ratings were very disappointed. For now I have only two SACD, of which only an audiophile, but the second I know well the CD layer, the better, so I can make comparisons.
HDracks, from which I purchase music, "liquid", public records high-resolution 24-bit, 96 kHz, except for music arising from SACD, which is published in accordance with the standard 24-bit 88 kHz, frequency multiple of the 2.82 MHz of the SACD.
I purchased a pair of albums ( one and two ) Mari Kodama on Pentatone, some sonatas of Beethoven piano, literally wipe out any similar recording heard on CD.
