Can someone tell me whether it makes a difference whether I play SACD over HDMI or through component? The reason I ask is because I'm looking at buying an inexpensive SACD player and need to decide between the OPPO 981H and the Denon 1940CI.

To be honest the only reason I am considering the Denon is because I have the Denon 2809ci avr and another Denon product would look good on top of it. As far as I know they both play SACD and DVD-Audio. Any thoughts on what I should do? I certainly don't want to sacrifice sound quality for the sake of having another denon product. The convenience of HDMI is also appealing to be since I hardly want more cables bwhind my equipment.
