Do I have to get a CD player to sample DSD on my digital rig?


I have Innuos zenith mk 3 (pcm) and T+A DAC 200 (which will play both pcm and dsd).  Some say dsd is better than pcm. I’m running Qobuz and it sounds really good. Just wanted to sample the dsd if possible.

Just a note - you can use the Oppo BDP-105 (as well as other Blu-ray disc players) to rip SACDs if you want to archive them. I’ve done this myself with all my discs.

... it does play the DSD layer, not the SACD ...

The SACD layer is the DSD layer.

Hmmmm  My Audiolab 6000CDT is not an SACD transport, so why does it play hybrid MoFi SACDs?

Hybrid SACDs have 2 layers. The DSD layer and a regular cd layer. Your Audiolab is reading and playing the cd layer, not the DSD layer.
