Ayre DX-5
DAC with HDMI Input
This would have been the PERFECT DAC, except that it does not have DSD capability:

I read elsewhere that HDMI port has licensing issues - cost based. But I really wish to play my SACDs in the new digital front end that I would like to purchase. I don't want to buy a PS3 to create DFF files. Is there another way to do this using regular PC?
I hope that with BluRay Audio that Acoustic Sounds, Elusive Disc and other vendors are marketing, the DAC manufacturers start including HDMI Input in their DACs.
