I assumed you could since the information is encoded digitally, simply more data. As far as I know there is no technical reason why the information could not be sent out over the digital connection, just an agreement between the content providers and the player manufacturers that premium audio content (5.1 DVD-A and SACD) will not be sent out over a digital link unless that digital link is copy protected like DenonLink. The feeling was that sending out an unprotected digital stream would make it too easy to rip off the content. This whole content protection thing seems a bit misguided to me, and there are even wierder things going on in the video world. I assume anyone wanting to steal the content could just copy the disks anyways... Last edited by bridgman; 05/27/05 10:16 PM.
