I don't know. I did a quick google and it looks like the TA E9000ES may downconvert the DSD stream to PCM. I haven't done much high res listening with the 9000ES, so I dunno. What I do know is that the 9000ES is spectacularly musical with any source - from a digital cable box, to DVD/DTS music, or CD and I would recommend it as a front end to anyone who loves music especially if you can live without multichannel inputs and true SACD/DVD A.
It's also spectacular with movies, but again it only has 5.1 multichannel output.
