SACD ICs -???

[edwelly]

What do you guys use for this type of connection? I haven't found a SACD package set and was wondering if 3 pair of good RCAs would work?
Also, does it matter is I only need a 3 foor cable but I use a 6 foot? Does that extra cable hurt anything in a short run?
THANKS!!

I used 3 pairs of cheap monster RCA's. I don't think 6 ft is a big deal. I listened to some SACD's last night for 2 straight hours. Sound so so good.

Nope, normal RCA's are fine. The only cool thing about a "package" is the color coding so you can easily tell them apart.

Here's another question, do you have analog bass management for your SACD player?

jaxvon - first off, thanks so much for the quick replies. I really appreicate your help.
I have a Sony DVP NS900V player and a Sony STR-DA4ES - how do I tell?

L-Jay - thanks - that looks like the way to go... I am really excited about this. I ahve yet to use this feature. Any certain SACD's that are a must listen?

Unfortunately there only seems to be small selection of music I like. I listen to alot of r&b and rap. I picked up the Quincy Jones ultimate collection and Lionel Richie last night on SACD, and R.Kelly on DVD-Audio. I listened to all of it. The detail is amazing. I also own 112 & musiq.

The sound is so rich and full of detail. Whatever your taste in music is, your gonna love the sound.

I'm using a Denon 2910 player, 2805 AVR and Energy C-series speakers.
Have fun listening

I'm not sure what your player can do. If you still have the manual, take a look through it and see if it says anything about "bass management" or if it allows you to adjust crossover points on the speakers and such.

Bluejeans has bundled multichannel analog cables for SACD/DVD-A for a good price here.

A MUST hear SACD would be Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.
