When you use the Denon Link does that mean the signal can be passed through the Audyssey MultEq and otherwise be processed by the AVR?

My guess would be yes, the Denon link performs just like your normal optical link except it has the license to do multichannel.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

If you are looking for a good universal player to use with the Denon Link you can't go wrong with the 3910.

Hi:
Are you guys sure about the iLink (firewire)not being able to pass through SACD? I seem to read differently. For instance see the Pioneer web site:
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/article/0,,2076_4159_36978171,00.html
Maybe I am misunderstanding this.
Thanks again for your help

Looks like you are correct on the high end Pioneers also, but as with Denon you would have to use both Pioneer's receiver and DVD player.

I don't think you are correct about the i-link (firewire, IEEE-1394) not being compatible with SACD. From what I read any player and receiver combination are compatible as long as they are both DTCP compliant.
I contacted Pioneer:
Inquiry:I am interested in playing SACDs on the DV-79AVi through the iLink. I have a Denon AVR-4806 with iLink inputs. Will the DV-79AVi work with the Denon through the iLink for SACDs?
Reply: Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.
If the connected component is DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection) compliant it will play SACD's through the i.link.
Thank You,
Ismael
I checked and the AVR-4806 is DTCP cpmpliant.

Cool, that gives you more options, thanks for the correction.
