PS3 + Sony BDP-480 + Pioneer VSX32-Elite play SACD?

[mariokor]

Hi evrybody,
As I am new here and also new on SACD knowledge a have a question . Maybe someone can help me:
I have a PS3 250gb model CECH-2001B, not SACD compatible
Sony BDP-480, SACD compatible
Audi Video receiver Pioneer VSX-32 Elite, dont know about compatibility

With this equipment will I be able to play SACD´s with full quality?

Thanks for the help!!!

Depends on your definition of full quality.

The Pioneer you list will accept both DSD (native SACD) and PCM from the SACD compatible PS3 over HDMI, however the PS3 only outputs PCM which it converts from the DSD data on the disk.

There are a few who argue that conversion of DSD to PCM before the digital to analog conversion causes a very small loss of sound quality. I do not fall into that camp however, and found my PS3 to be an excellent SACD player prior to its demise.

So yes, IMO. Use HDMI though. You will not be getting decent quality through any other route.

Hi Brandom B,
Thanks for your answer .
As I posted, my PS3 is shown as not compatible with SACD, so I bought another Blu-ray +dvd+cd player, SONY BDP-S480, wich is SACD compatible, so I am going to place my SACD´s to play in this one, not on my PS3, and using HDMI connection to my Pioneer AV Receiver VSX32-Elite, and this will send sound to my JBL ES90 Fronts, ES25C center, ES30 surround´s...
I did not find information on my receiver´s manual about being DSD compatible, and as I said, my knowledge about this matter is almos ZERO,
So I want to confirm that, with these equipment, I will be able to hear SACD as it shoul be played and heard.
Thank you very much for your attention and hope to hear from you or someone else soon.
