Hello everybody,

First, we would like to thank Zeus, who allows us a single post in this forum.

Since the introduction of the SACD format, many SACD enthusiastics have been looking for SACD kits to develop their own SACD players. However, this technology was available only on OEM basis for batch quantities.

Today, AudioCDpro (www.audiocdpro.com) is glad to propose a SACD package, the GF6 / Slim Metal Loader Evaluation Package, available on unit basis or flexible quantities:
http://www.audiocdpro.com/packages/gf6-/-sml-evaluation-package.html

Thus, if you want to develop your SACD player based on professional audio parts, the GF6 / SML Evaluation Package will definitely fulfill your expectations. This package includes all parts to build your SACD application: GF6 SACD module, Slim Metal Loader, Evaluation Kit (DSA Evaluation Board + VFD Evaluation Board), PSU and Aluminium Remote Control Handset.


The GF6 SACD module offers outstanding audio performances and a great playability. Its core built around the new chipset dedicated to the DSD conversion offers a rich and natural sound. Besides, instead of using a low cost plastic loader, this package includes the famous Slim Metal Loader, a sophisticated tray-loading mechanism with full metal parts specifically designed to remove mechanical vibrations in high-end players.

The Evaluation Kit also includes a DSA Evaluation Board, a VFD Evaluation Board, a PSU and all necessary cables. Once all boards parts are connected, you can send any command through the keyboard or the remote control handset provided in the package, and start the evaluation of this SACD application. Besides, you will discover many innovative features included in the user firmware (PWM of the tray speed, dimming, keyboard configuration, etc…).

For further information about this product, please have a look at the GF6/Slim Metal Loader Evaluation Package page.

Hi AudioCDPro Team:

May I know more about this kit?

1. Raw DSD output available for connection with DSD-direct DAC like ESS9018?
2. Mediatek engine using 27Mhz as master clock, or any other master clock on this kit?
3. Can the power supply replaced with linear PSU?
4. This kit support DSD-Disc like Sony XA-5400ES and playstation 3?

This would make a great, though expensive, front end for the Twisted Pear ESS based DAC.
