It appears to me that Yamaha RX 1700 supports HDMI 1.2a, which, according to Hdmi official website is required to obtain lossless SACD audio. Denon 2800 is HDMI 1.1, which, again according to HDMI.org only adds lossless DVD-A capabilities. However, I can still use analogs for SACD, right? Sorry, but this whole thing makes me confused.
