My s570 does not recognize SACD's anymore: Does anyone know what could have changed?

I have a Denon 2308 amp and a Denon 1940ci DVD player. The pure direct mode is a stereo mode, not SACD (multichannel). It is explained I believe in the manual for the amp. Both player and amp units have a selectable Pure Direct mode option, but personally, I can't tell the difference. Btw, Pink Floyd's Dark Side SACD seems to be the benchmark standard in the sense that it works to expectations. All of my Rolling Stone digipak SACD's are stereo output to the speakers even when SACD indicator is lit on player. Very disappointing and a cause of much learning.

I can find no mention of multi-channel SACD in the instruction manual. It would probably depend on the music source CD/DVD player supporting SACD that you plug into the receiver.

It will play them, but only the 2 channel layer on the disc. You will need an SACD player to get the benefit of the SACD disc.

SACD and DVD-Audio are different. It's no more a "disguise" than a cassette tape "hiding" an 8 track.

Did you re-start your DWS and/or your computer? I haven't had a single problem, but that doesn't mean nobody ever had one. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but if you haven't tried this, try this: unplug your LPD8, restart your computer, plug in the LPD8, launch your music software. Good luck!

No. The optical & coax are simply for playing back from DVD, Blu-ray, DAT, Minidisc, or CD. The music on the hard drive has already been encoded and is copied over from your PC. If you want to rip your SACDs to .dsf files you will need a modified Playstation 3. There are forums detailing this online.

This unit which only plays CD's does not. That feature is usually only available on SACD discs played back on an SACD player.

I have had no problems of any kind with my SB-Z sound card. It has been an exception item. Maybe you have an incompatibility between your sound card and the applications you are using.

I have JRiver Media Center and with latest drivers and compatible outputs, I was able to bitsteam 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio from a Zotac GPU. I believe it is the Intel CPU that decodes the DTS-HD MA signal. I must say that there is a significant improvement in the sound across all audio sources over the hardware that I had before.

I've got one that has gone into this same problem as described: Just cycles through one disk after another saying 'cant read this disk' Has anyone found a solution for this? Blue SA-CD and Multichannel lights are on. Will not even recognize standard store bought DVD's currently.

Any CD or DVD player will play a SACD disk, since these disks also have a regular CD track. What you are hearing may be the regular CD track, and not the SACD track.

SACD is a disc format; this DAC does not play discs, but rather decodes files. It can and does decode Direct Stream Digital (DSD), which is the file format used in SACDs. In order to play SACDs, one must have an optical drive capable of reading the SACD format (which would include the ability to "unlock" the copy protection). Most optical drives for PCs or Macs do not include this function.

ah, mine never worked with my sounddock either, and I don't have anything else to test it on. I've had it almost a year and it's just been sitting around. it's too bad.

The 3010 supports SACD playback by either straight multi-channel PCM (i.e. decoded by your SACD player) or direct DSD decoding (i.e. decoded by the 3010 itself). If you're asking whether it has analog multi-channel inputs, unfortunately it does not. Multi-channel SACD playback would have to be done via HDMI.

No. It is not the disk. It is the player. I had the BD-1400 and it did the same annoying thing for over a year. I went through several firmware updates during that time. With the latest firmware update Samsung fixed the problem. I suspect that you need to do the same.
