It's named "Elton John".

Discography.

catbrat, i did find a pdf about your listed receiver and it says it has a DSD to PCM Converter incorporated into it. not sure if that means it either doesn't support DSD only PCM or it does support DSD but also has the ability to convert it to PCM at the receiver level in case your player could not convert it.

if your receiver either doesn't support DSD and is converting it to PCM or if you have it selected to PCM then no matter what you did at the player (switching between DSD & PCM) you would hear no change since the receiver is already set to convert it to PCM.

thanks, of course, i don't have that SACD, though, i do have at least 3 of his other SACD's.

catbrat, i looked through the manual for your receiver. as far as i can tell, it only converts DSD to PCM, it does not support true DSD to DSD playback without PCM conversion.

for example all of my Onkyo receivers support DSD in and DSD out without conversion. i think yours only accepts it in and then converts it to PCM.

anyone else is welcome to chime in on this. that is what i've gathered from catbrats receiver manual.

Does this mean I'm only hearing CD quality and not the SACD quality?

This SACD has the best sound of any of my CD's, so that would be hard for me to make a judgement there.
