Yeah, but your link takes him to only the black, out of stock, model. That's why I linked to the page with all the models. By doing so, it allows him to see if he would be satisfied with the allegedly in stock silver model, or if he wanted to wait for the black model to be restocked.
I suppose I should've put a link to each, but I was lazy and figured he is capable of clicking on a photo of the model(s) in which he's interested.

Well, It's all you look at it. Ya got a choice. You can hang a picture of the "better looking" black one on your wall, or put the "not better looking" silver one in your room and enjoy the music.

I've been very happy with my Pioneer Elite DV45-A which I use in my home theater in the living room. I purchased it for $240 including shipping, new and sealed, from Audiogon last fall. It's the previous model but I believe a new version is out which may be worth looking in to.
I purchased it mainly for its reputation in audio quality with decent burr brown dacs, it's not bad with video quality either but doesn't tout any fancy features in that department.

Hi. I am glad this thread was started. I am hoping someone can answer a few questions for me. I am interested in getting a new SACD/CD player (DVD A would be nice also). I am looking for one with a fire wire that would allow me to directly feed the digital out of the SACD player into my Denon AVR-4806. This would allow me to take advantage of all the digital processing features of the AVR (I think). There are a few of these players out there but they are all very expensive. Pioneer Elite has a new model.
The Yamaha model (DVD S2500) seems to get poor reviews.
Does the SACD output come through the HDMI connector? There are a lot more players available with HDMI.
Also, is it really worth having the firewire?
Any suggestions/thoughts on all this?
Thanks for your help.

You actually have to use the DenonLINK to get digital SACD out. I do not think that firewire is certified for SACD. That pretty much locks you to the higher end Denon units.

Ken is correct, to use your Denon link you will need a Denon DVD player from models 3910 and above.

Thanks for setting me straight re: the firewire. Do you think that having the Denon Link would make a significant difference in the sound quality of SACDs?

I use the Denon link, while I can't say there is any difference between the analog or digital sound, the convenience of one cable verses five is worth it to me.
