No audio playing SACD"s

SACD can go over HDMI cable (to an SACD enabled AV receiver for example). Not sure about RCA, XLR, USB or optical...

if you are using a dcs transport designed for SACD and the Puccini can decode SACD then there is most likely a problem in the chain

if you are using an SACD player and the digital output from it to the Puccini then the other messages are correct

Aoltes-

SACD will require additional RCA cables. 1 pair if your are running 2-channel only. If your are running surround sound- 5.1 or 7.1 ...etc., then more sets of RCA cables will be needed. Happy Listening!

When playing sacd youll need to use the rca analog audio outs on your cd/sacd player. You can have both a digital cable and the rca cables connected at the same time, but sacd specifically cannot be output digitally. I am no expert on content law but i believe it has to do with Sony trying to protect their sacd content from being pirated, so they dont allow it to be output digitally, Connect a set of L+R rca cables and youll be hearing music in no time.

When playing SACD's, some spinners disable the digital output. Hook up a pair of analog cables and see if you get sound there when you play an SACD.

If your cable is going to a non-SACD DAC, there could be a problem...
