CD copies

Try it and see. If you use a media player like the free J. River Jukebox 14 it will tell you the sampling rate of each track it plays and will play hi-res formats. For example 24-bit 96kHz = 4608 bps.

I also think you need a transport that can quite specifically read the SACD format. It follows that failing that, no other data manipulation would be possible.

What are you going to use the copies for?

I use http://www.cirlinca.com/ for this exact same thing. It takes some getting used to works just fine for what you are trying to achieve. Hi-Resolution DVD-a sounds wonderful. I copy my music on the slowest DVD media I can find. Try to buy the older 4X or 6x speeds. The slower the better when it comes to ripping copies of CD or DVD.

I'm making copies to play on my office system. Thanks for the great suggestions.
