How do you connect your SACD player? - Page 2

i.link really is very nice in certain ways.  Using one connection (I know, they always have two for networking, but they are identified as one network) to connect multiple components is so much more flexible and advanced than having dedicated inputs.  It's a shame the concept has died.  I had forgotten about the DSD/PCM thing.  I'm pretty sure the Oppo players, at least the later ones, output DSD if you choose by hdmi.  So, the bottom line seems to be that you can't get high res BR audio AND i.link without spending multi K$ on some absurd AVR.

The Pioneer 84txi was the best compromise. It's i-Link equiped (thus the "i" suffix) and it's hdmi 1.2 and accepts multi-ch LPCM over hdmi (the 74txi is hdmi 1.1) so a BR which internally decodes the new formats and sends them out hdmi as mc lpcm would get you the new formats. Add them to an i-Link hi-res player and you're all set.
