Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Hybrid SACD.
Listened to this SACD of Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon album. In both 2 channel SACD through an audiophile stereo integrated amp & digital 5.1 amp. Verdict the 5.1 digital amp SACD reproductions via the 6 multi channel component signatures (Maybe the best tip 4 a tight budget.) was a clear winner. Others who listened said it was like, they have never heard this album before, as it sounded that good. And those who complain about different sounds coming from the surround speakers must lack imagination in my opinion. As I hear the surround effects as if I was in the middle of the stage with the actual artists. The Sax played in one of the tracks from the front centre speaker is so realistic it doesn’t seem as if it’s possible. And a track with the footsteps & breathing actually seems to run convincing full circle around your room. It only lacked the realistic affect of a real warm breath in my ear. It found all of my digital amps missing midrange. These music artists have deliberately gone out of their way to present you with the most amazing album experience. SACD is for those artists who give their audience their all & making their art musically immortal, in the modern age. And the SACD format is only beaten by its lack of available discs. So I say even if you remotely like this classic album it is a must purchase. Enjoy it.

Pioneer DV868AVIS DVD Player
3 of 3 found this helpful This Multi disc spinner is really special. The CD player is well above average and that’s it weakest link, in that it’s more forgiving than other CD players. It replaced my Very Good HK DVD2550s. I was expecting the Pioneer DV868AVIS DVD to beat it on just the sound. It did & picture and everything else apart from the magnificent HK remote. But what you all want to know about is its SACD player. Using 5.1 speaker set up is so much better than 2 channel SACD, because 2 channels are restricted to reproducing, just a stereo image. It does it very well but the 5.1 speaker set-ups clearly has superior separation from the 6 multi output leads. (I use component signatures for the sound & picture.) The artists are able to give me the impression I am on stage with them. The centre speaker projects a significantly stronger & realistic solo performance (when turn to max, on a digital amp and the rears are setup at a minus setting.)
Not that I bought the Pioneer DV868AVIS DVD for home cinema, it plays most music better than I have heard on HD-master audio via an active HDMI lead! The picture via the components is that impressive you are able to extract even more detail than you need. The HDMI picture is said to be even better. I have found it necessary to up convert my Component picture though my Sony digital amp, which has a decent up converter. I have sometimes in the past been disappointed with the lack of DVD playback quality on certain discs. If this player can’t make all your discs sing & dance, then you need to get a different recording of it. I’m also just as delighted with the analogue playback of music DVD's such as Fleetwood Mac The Dance, wow it delivered so much more than in digital mode. Yeah the on screen menus are dated & the remote is bulky & the DVD disc layer pauses & it takes about 10 seconds longer to load a MP3 cd disc. And you have to keep switching between digital on & off 5.1 multi channels & 2 channels in the menu. But hey it’s just so rewarding to wait this little bit longer. For me it’s all about the sound then visual performance. I’m never sold on gimmicks, to compromise its primary purpose.
I found that using a coaxial digital, was a must to use as a bench mark. Then 99/100 times switching it over to the 6 multi channel inputs, once you discovered the best sounding DVD disc choice. And no, it can’t play back a SACD via a single digital coaxial lead. I wouldn’t be interested in using it if it did. The analogue out puts are not just for show either. As for the first time it out performed my top tip of getting extra gain out of a scart adapter for stereo sound. Ohh & when in digital amps menu I found switching the phase noise on gave me a significant sonic gain. This player of mine was bought second hand originally for me to enjoy SACD only while I saved up, for a 2011 multi disc spinner with Blu-ray. Now I will not be looking to replace this player. I’m also content with its looks as I was initially tentative regarding it not being available in glossy black. Pioneer has really pulled out all the stops here and some, to deliver a player that finally exceeds all my true, expectations. And finally reveals bags of that missing mid rage of my digital amp. Please note that I have my whole system set up specifically for music playback, not Home Cinema. Although it also impresses with DVD movies as well. I hope you enjoy this player as much as my audiophile community does.
