    Yes the higher bit playback makes a difference. As long as you'll listen in Direct...as mentioned Aud dumbs it down to 96.

    I'll help with that...Bass management changes DSD to PCM, regardless where the bass management is done.Onkyo with direct mode accept DSD w/o a PCM conversion.(at least it says it does on the 707, 708, 807 and 1008. Never tried DSD/HDMI on the Denon 4810, DTR 5.8/7.8)When I had the SC79 for...

    I don't know what happens to "DSD over HDMI" if the AVR doesn't accept it...It is one of "the specs" I require in my AVR purchases, along with HDMI upconversion, preouts...Pretty sure the Onk NR414 accepts DSD, if it doesn't...the 515 did(via firmware update).You could buy an Oppo 970. It sends...

    If your Elite can send DSD over HDMI, unlike Onkyo, Denon doesn't offer DSD on everything.The 2112 might be the only one there(of the xx13, you have to go up to the 2313).

    XX12 then XX13. X"x"000 is "current". X"x"100 are the brand new ones(not all models out yet).Ignore the 1713.
