morris 388 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I received the Supertramp - Crime of the Century - Pure Audio Blu Ray disc that I won from Daddyjt's Karma. Thanks Mark! After loading in to my Oppo BDP-103, the first thing I found is that this is a stereo disc. I thought it would be surround sound. That's the only dissapointment I had though. The sound quality was great. Since it is stereo, I played it directly from the Oppo to the C-1 preamp(which has a new BillD mod), bypassing the Marantz receiver I use for SACD, DVD-Audio, and movies. The sound is clean, with a wide dynamic range. This will be one of my favorite CD's. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris 388 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Here is a picture of the menu screen. Similar to some DVD-audio discs. There are 3 audio set up options. I couldn't tell any difference between them. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickT 77 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I wish more of these Pure Audio disks were made. Seems to be another dead'ish format. I just got the Alan Parsons Project "Tales of mystery and imagination". Full 5.1 remaster by Alan himself. Sounds amazing and I want more..... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morris 388 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I just connected the Oppo right and left front RCA to the C-1. I play all stereo CD's this way. HDMI to the AV receiver for movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had very good results with Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs SACD. Some are stereo, some are hybrid, and I don't recall any that don't have a PCM or DSD option for playback. Patricia Barber-Cafe Blue, Dire Straits-Brothers In Arms, The Cars-Heartbeat City, Santana-Abraxas & Caravanserai, Janis Joplin-Pearl & The Doobie Brothers-What Were Once Vices... are very well done. Their UD1S albums are incredible, but be prepared for sticker shock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to give them a listen.. Both are excellent choices. Here's a link on the Steve Hoffman forum discussion with SACD recommendations. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks See Page 16 and 67-68 of the BDP-103 manual. You may not have enabled Down Mix Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
