Do somebody know how to make a SACD?
I know how the DSD tech. works but how do you make a DSD file (Soundforge?)and on what kind of external media can we put it.
Is there already a SACD burner and if so do you need special SACD's to put it on or can we use ordinary DVD-R's?

Br,

Good questions....try doing a search on the internet on "How do I Make a Super Audio Compact Disc", read up on all the information you find, then come back to this forum and answer your questions for us.

Thanks for the help,

After some research on the net:

Mytec has a standalone DSD recorder with as media a tape, DVD-Ram or other scsi device.
There are also DSD editors like Merging or Sadie.
(Maybe something for Soundforge in the future?)
Tascam has also a DSD recorder (based on there DTRS recorders) the DS-D98.
EMM Labs has some DSD A/D D/A converters.
and Genex has a multi-channel DSD recorder, the GX8500.

After mastering the project you give bring the DSD media to the SACD factory for the final process of the production of a SACD.
If you know German (or maybe the pictures will explain it some how) this is a good link: http://www.studio-magazin.de/Leseproben/SACD-Herstellung.pdf
(I'm gonna seach on the net for a better explenation of the factory process.)

No deticated SACD recorder at the moment(maye there is one but i din't found one)!
