SACD Internal Drive (computer)
« on: January 31, 2010, 06:56:05 PM »
I have been checking CD / DVD Drives/Burners to see if any also will play SACDs.   

So far I haven't found any.

My lack of success suggests that there may be copy portection issues preventing their availability.

Anybody out there that knows if such a beast exists?

I have never seen or heard of any SACD hardware for a computer and I don't think that it would be allowed since my understanding of the SACD  licensing agreements is that they forbid the transferring of any unencrypted digital SACD signals, which would be required if the files were handled by a computer.

For further info on SACD check out this Wikipedia article:
