Puget Sound Studios claims that it captures a pure unencrypted DSD data stream from the Playback Designs Music Playback System 5 (MPS-5) SACD transport machine to do the conversion from SACD discs to create the downloadable files being sold by HDTracks. Is that possible?
An associate spoke to the owners of Playback Designs concerning their machine. First, Playback Designs partner Jonathan Tinn was contacted. He stated that he didnt think that it was possible because of the limitations of the Sony license. However he stated that he was on the business side of the company and referred the caller to the companys other partner, Andreas Koch, who was the engineer and could answer technical questions. Then Andreas Koch was contacted. He stated he knew Bruce, owner of Puget Sound Studios and he knew Bruce was converting SACD discs into downloadable files by HDTracks. He also stated that as far as he knew, Puget Sound was the only studio that is doing this. Andreas stated that, yes, a pure unencrypted DSD data stream can be captured from the Playback Designs transport. -- mortslim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74688
