Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7 - Kleiber        (2 of 3 found this review helpful)

I really enjoyed this disk. Surround was very nice and the power of this performance is phenomenal. It gets loud when it needs to but nothing to start piercing your ears. Air instruments, and other instruments are nicely represented. A good SACD to own.

Strange .,.. I actually had higher expectations. I won't go into technical details simply because I am far away from being able to. However, I do have a nice set up and have listened to about 20 different SACDs and DVDAs .... this one ... I was a bit disappointed. To me it was not balanced well. It ... more
Mozart: Requiem - Karajan        (0 of 8 found this review helpful)

Sorry but this is very disappointing performance. This is not the way I always hear Requiem. Performance is slowed down to probably half speed and so it loses the power and energy. I am also not impressed with SACD Multichannel sound. Stereo is probably a bit better. Bottom line is ... if you want ... more

DSD Output On or Off?
March 21, 2015
My Sony bdb-s370 has an option for DSD output On or Off. When I have it OFF, my receiver shows signal 176hz ... once I select ON receiver doesn't show 176 anymore. Just multi channel. In terms of sound difference, I feel like when DSD is ON sound is definitely louder and thus more pronounced? Not sure. What should I have it set on? thank you ... more
Major sound difference between SACD 5.1 through Sony BDP-S370 vs 88hz Converted file via Media Player.

oooo, wow, hold on ... are you sure??? Even if my receiver shows 176hz on display? So should I turn Audyssey off? That way my receiver will still do the bass management and keep the signal at full ? ... more

So, bottom line is .... once you touch that SACD iso and try to extract tracks, converting it to lower HZ and then playing it on anything that's not a SACD player ... quality (bass, soundstage, rear channels, etc) will become poor compared to original method. ... more

So the ultimate question is .... why is surround performance as well as bass sound better on Sony player than via WD Live media player? Same song, file that is on WD Player has been compressed to 88.2hz PCM though. Does that one thing makes such a big difference? ... more
