• You want lossless or PCM now ?! - oscar 10:22:46 08/17/07 (7)

  Forget optical or Coax. You'll need HDMI capable player and Receiver (even then, I'm not sure HDMI supports fullbandwidth uncompressed PCM) and/or the source players 5.1 analog output fed through your 5.1 Analog bypass-capable receiver or pre/pro or multichannel analog preamp.
  
  What you need is a High end source player with DTS HD MA and TrueHD decoding, plus quality DACs for the 5.1/7.1 analog outputs combined with, say a Switchman (or tubed might be better) multichannel analog preamp.

    • Heck, you can hook up both your Yamaha and the Denon to the Switchman.. - oscar 19:43:55 08/17/07 (5)

      Go for it ! :0) Or you have this possible irrational attachment to $$$$$....
      
      As for my system needs, I may have to choose between new pre/pro with awesome/robust bass management and/or source player with same and/or a completely new set of relatively efficient 5.1/7.1 speakers and/or 5.1/7.1 set of ampliication with tremendous headroom to support uncompressed 24/96 PCM soundtracks..

          I gather that the OP's note was at least partially satirical. - But does anyone know (or expect) that Oppo will offer a true HD player (either Blu-Ray or HD or both) with SACD anytime soon?

        • Good luck finding that Uber-Universal player. - oscar 06:39:28 08/18/07 (2)

          I want one too. I know Sony ain't making one. A salesman told me they are NOT combining SACD with their better (or any ?) Blu-Ray players. When my current Universal craps out, I'm not sure there will be a new replacement available. At least one high end company is sitting out the HD format wars before they think about playing; I'm pretty sure they aren't the only ones.

            And since Integra and Yamaha are BOTH at the doctors (different docs) Toshiba is doing m\c SACD and DVD Audio duty.

              Well there is an LG player that has both of those but I don't think anything that comes out is going to have DVD-A and SACD too! Not even from Oppo! :)

  Not via TOSlink or coax on any machine, off the top of my head. MCH analog or HDMI.

  But I'll defer as I'm but no means an expert when it comes to this. I think one needs to use the 5 analog inputs for MCH or perhaps HDMI.
