Dos estupendos reproductores CD/SACD de TAD
Two TAD Offerings Provide Exceptional Sound Reproduction
01/07/2014 | 09:01am US/Eastern
TAD-D1000 Disc Player and TAD-DA1000 D/A Converter Designed for Highest Level of Audio Playback
CES - Venetian Tower Suite 34-208 - Technical Audio Devices Laboratories, Inc. today officially announced in the U.S. the TAD-D1000 disc player and TAD-DA1000 D/A converter, two new offerings designed to support the latest digital audio technologies and faithfully reproduce sound sources to the absolute limits. Equipped with a proprietary ultra-high C/N1 master clock UPCG2 and extensive digital input terminals, playback of all digital audio media are maintained with extreme accuracy. Through their built-in USB ports, both models offer playback of 384 kHz/32 bit PCM data or 5.6 MHz DSD data. In addition, the TAD-DA1000 D/A converter also includes a volume function for creating a simple audio system with a direct connection to a power amplifier. 
TAD-D1000 Disc Player
"Both of the TAD models are extremely versatile, allowing them to be integrated into virtually any existing system," said Andrew Jones, director and chief engineer for Technical Audio Devices Laboratories, Inc. "And of course, as with all TAD products, build quality and performance are unparalleled."
Precise Clock and Circuit
The two new models each start with a highly accurate master clock similar to that used in the flagship TAD D600 disc player. The newly developed C/N Master Clock UPCG is incorporated into both units to obtain the highest reproduction quality. The master clock is complemented with dual differential independent Burr-Brown PCM1794A DACs for left and right channels to achieve exceptional accuracy in conversion and a high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio.
In addition, a proprietary discrete IV conversion circuit is utilized to reduce residual noise effectively even at the highest sample rates and also provide a high slew rate, resulting in music with excellent transient response with high definition and impact.
Proprietary Asynchronous USB Transmission Engine
To handle a variety of high resolution formats, both models feature five digital inputs (USB, XLR, optical, and 2 x coaxial). The USB Audio Class 2.0-compatible USB port is equipped with a specially developed asynchronous USB transmission engine capable of handling PCM audio data of up to 384 kHz/32 bit, and DSD audio data up to 5.6 MHz. As received digital signals are read out with the high-purity clock, the digital signal boasts incredibly high precision and reduced jitter.
Aluminum Chassis and Structure
For an unmatched modern and stylish look combined with the best feel and advanced functionality, both TAD models are constructed of an eight millimeter thick pure aluminum chassis and a structure with a low center of gravity that places heavier components in the lower portion to minimize the effects of external vibrations. For precise disc rotation and highest operational stability, the TAD-D1000 SACD/CD player utilizes a TAD custom built machined aluminum disc tray and low-noise brushless DC servo that is firmly mounted to the chassis.
Toroidal Power Supply
Both units are integrated with a proprietary high-output, large-sized toroidal power supply to ensure extremely fast response and exceptional audio output even at high volume levels.
TAD-DA1000 Volume Function
The TAD-DA1000 is equipped with a line output volume function for simple high sound quality setup and direct connection to an external power amplifier. In addition, the unit also offers a headphone amplifier with a dedicated independent volume control and can be used directly with headphones with impedances ranging from eight to 600 Ohms.
The TAD-D1000 disc player and TAD-DA1000 D/A converter are currently available for purchase. For further information, please contact an authorized TAD distributor or retailer or visit www.tad-labs.com.

¿Otra alternativa para reproducir SACD de costo razonable? Yamaha DVD-S1800
Aunque el precio de lista es de 449.95 USD ya lo puede uno encontrar en Amazon en un precio de 250 USD.
Más aun, que este equipo no sea purista en términos audiófilos implica para el usuario más general acceso a más formatos y características:
A tenerlo en cuenta.
Para quienes buscan un buen reproductor SACD sin vaciar las cuentas bancarias.

Aceptémoslo, la realidad es que el formato SACD no llegará ya a ser el formato dominante, pocos, muy pocos siquiera lo conocerán, pero en el pequeño círculo audiófilo se le busca con afán muchas veces pues es, como sea, el pináculo en cuanto a calidad de reproducción digital se refiere, una verdadera lástima que Toshiba haya generado turbulencias con su DVD-A que no logró nada más que descarrilar el camino previsto para SACD.

Otros fabricantes como Marantz ofrece equipos en un rango medianamente razonable y de bastante buena calidad otros más como Esoteric o Cary ofrecen equipos pero a preciso que si resultan un tanto más inaccesibles.
Así entonces tenemos este PD-D9-J, de Pioneer uno de los primeros fabricantes en respaldar el formato y más aun, que lo ofreció en equipos de reproducción iniversal muy accesibles. El precio de venta de este equipo es de unos 900 USD y basta un vistazo al interior para descubrir que es un serio reproductor y a ese precio me parece que es mejro aun.

Análisis al reproductor Accuphase DP-700 Precision MDSD SA-CD @ Dagogo
Estas máquinas me sorpenden en su exquisita realización como pocos, aprecien y conozcan más sobre este magnífico reproductor de puro linaje japones.
¡Ah! Solo un detalle, barato no es, para fines de comparación el Cary CD 306 SACD Professional Version es una "baratija" de menos una de cuarta parte del precio de este Accuphase. Lo que nos lleva a la pregunta de siempre ¿ Cuanto es caro y cuanto es barato ? o como diría mi buen amigo Armando Barrientos, "no hay caro ni barato, solo diferentes bolsillos."

Es oficial, Cary lanza el apabullante CD 303T
Un reproductor que toma como base lo aprendido con el CD 306 SACD y su posterior mejora llamada CD 306 SACD Professional Version, este nuevo CD 303T funciona en principio igual, con la posibilidad de usarse como un DAC independiente más el plus con el que el CD 306 SACD PV no cuenta: una entrada USB para usarse con los cada vez más popular de medios de reproducción via dispositivos de almacenamiento masivo en disco duro. El precio no es muy accesible en términos generales haciendo las conversiones cambiarias para México pero si es bastante más accesible que el CD 306 SACD PV: 6500 USD MSRP.
http://www.caryaudio.com/products/classic/CD303TSACDPro.html
The CD 303T SACD is a vacuum tube/solid state selectable SACD player. Plays Redbook CDs and upsamples at 44.1, 96, 192, 384, 512, and 768kHz. Internal clocking of 22.5792 MHz in SACD processing mode. In vacuum tube mode, the analog output section utilizes four 12AU7 vacuum tubes as the audio gain stage as well as the output buffer. Can be used as a standalone DAC with switchable inputs for USB (24 bit 192 kHz), RCA, and Toslink. Eight (8) PCM1792u DAC chips running in parallel pairs. The output vacuum tubes have a removable panel above them for tube exchange or ‘tube rolling’ without opening the chassis.
Additional features of this player include adjustable metal cone feet, and vacuum tube and solid state output sections that can be changed through the remote or by a button on the front panel. Other enhancements include a dimmer light control for the display, C-core power transformer, fully regulated power supplies, RS 232 port control for custom installation systems, and HDCD decoding with Cary DSP-300 digital filter. Available with silver or black anodized aluminum front panel.
