That's really helpful to know, seeing that I'm starting to price DVD-a/SACD players now. I'm quite sure that my older Adcom dig. unit won't have input connections described above. Maybe I need to start thinking about upgrading the entire system, opposed to just the DVD player now. Thankfully, I don't have any kids, so they won't be upset when I go spend their college fund on new audio gear.

But this does lead me to another question about HDCD reproduction, which I'm going to open a post about now.
