Kal (Kr4), indeed, thank you for doing an article covering those particular matters (dig to analog out vs. direct dig hdmi and digital processing). I look foreward to going through it, for certain, and do hope the article is both by enlarge in depth and thorough.
I personally believe it has been fairly long over due, that the topic of processing digital data in the player vs the outboard processor -considering all analog and digital connect options - be professionlly discussed and analyzed, and the pertinent merits and potential down-sides be brought to the attention of all us music/HT enthusiests, who have pondered all of this - specifically pertaining to the differing digital media processings.
I also think many of us here share the same desire for clarification here.
