This is supposed to be an excellent unit. I was considering buying it but was a little unclear on the connections. It turns out that in order to listen to the real multi-channel SACD and DVD-Audio, you have to have a processor with multiple sets of 5.1 channel inputs. Otherwise you're only going to get stereo SACD and DVD-Audio, which to me is missing the whole point.
I'm very confused as to why you can get multi-channel audio from standard DVD's with a single coaxial digital cable, but for SACD or DVD-Audio you have to have a full set of 5.1 analog interconnects.
Anyway, for the real experience of multi-channel SACD it turns out I'm just not ready to make the investment in the player itself as well as a new processor and probably a whole new set of analog interconnects.
