Hi. I am glad this thread was started. I am hoping someone can answer a few questions for me. I am interested in getting a new SACD/CD player (DVD A would be nice also). I am looking for one with a fire wire that would allow me to directly feed the digital out of the SACD player into my Denon AVR-4806. This would allow me to take advantage of all the digital processing features of the AVR (I think). There are a few of these players out there but they are all very expensive. Pioneer Elite has a new model.
The Yamaha model (DVD S2500) seems to get poor reviews.
Does the SACD output come through the HDMI connector? There are a lot more players available with HDMI.
Also, is it really worth having the firewire?
Any suggestions/thoughts on all this?
Thanks for your help.
