Under Audio Settings / DSD Output Mode: Set to ON (Default is OFF)

This will set you up to bitstream the DSD, rather than convert to PCM.

Enjoy the SACD! It's absolutely amazing.
Ok, thank you for your help... Will be doing this

My faves: Dark Side of the Moon, The Stranger (Billy Joel), Trespass, Selling England by tbe Pound, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (all 3 Genesis), Aja and Gaucho from Steely Dan, Marc Knopflers Shangri-La, Bjork's Vespertine

Prime stuff, all of it!!! Some pricey, but to me - it's been worth it so far...

So, the best bet is to support Blu-Audio as well, so we can get more good stuff on Blu for the future...

Doc
Your post has gotten me a little scared.... lol
Scared I might like SACD more then I could have thought and really get into it.

I kinda browsed that link before I created this thread to see if there was anything I was kinda interested in, before even taking the S570 downstairs to hear.

There were a few and I have a feeling if I like, I might go over board and get things I would have never bought before.
