Dennis,


You absolutely right, but if I were Meridian I would not bother, the architecture of Meridian processors requires PCM.


DSD makes it almost impossible to post process the signal in digital form, as we all know Meridian software engineers work wonders with Trifield, DPLII and all the other modes, PCM is the ideal format for this.


IF enough people are prepared to pay for the multichannel analog inputs from SACD players to be turned back into PCM and processed great, but you would need a 6 channel input with high quality ADC, and the source signal is only as good as the SACD's player internal DAC's CRAP in Sony's case.


This picture does not look good.


Martin.
