Confirmed.

I'd connect this to my 5 Epos bookshelf speakers and my 500 Watt subwoofer, replacing my 18 year old Yamaha RX-V2095 receiver.

I have an almost 20 year old Yamaha receiver that I bought when I graduated college. I have replaced many parts on it, which included soldiering/desoldier old parts. Now the bass/LFE channel only works selectively. It's time for a receiver designed for the 21st century.

For SACD multichannel you need 6 analog connections (LF, RF, C, RR, RL, LFE) between the source and the preamp. You can use the same connections for DVD, or you can use a digital connection of some kind.

In regard to filtering: it's not that it's easier to filter, it's that the filtering takes place in the frequency space above the human hearing range so that you're not losing any of the information in the audible range which does occur without upsampling. Whenever a digital source is...

Jitter is a mismatch in time between a digital bitstream and a clocking signal. In other words, while the 1s and 0s coming from the source are all in the right order to recreate the music (or voice, or whatever), but the decoder timing is slightly off compared the reader. So the data is right...
