Pat - yes I've been thinking about that option (analogue) - it would be neat if one could get a proper downmix out of the L/R outputs, but then I'll be recording the SACD players DAC's. I don't buy the Sony DSD hype - I personally find DVD-A to be superior to SACD - but it is very hard to compare apples with apples. I guess I'm just p*ssed because there are so few DVD-A's (which I can rip) and more SACD's (that I can't). Why are record companies so stupid? Why can't I download from (most of) them at 24/96 - what are they REALLY afraid of? I mean, it's not like I haven't already bought most of this music at least twice already (Vinyl, CD). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
