I just saw this.... http://pioneer.jp/dvdld/player/dv_600av/

for those riding down the HDMI trail, this unit has promise. it's the first SACD player that will pass true DSD via HDMI. In other words, you should get (in theory) the same quality bit rate via hdmi as you do with the multi channel analoge. You'll need an audio processor with HDMI 1.2a though.

Michael needs to buy one and report back.
