Just thought I'd let you all know that the new Sony 400 DVD changer with SACD and HDMI is hitting the market as we speak.
There is a seller on ebay that had a great introductory price on these units.

Hopefully, it navigates better than it's predecessor which got terrible marks in that area. Okay if you don't expect too much. HDMI is the future, is SACD the past?

The Navagation issue has supposedly been addressed. I'll know for myself in a couple days.
SACD and DVD-A: A thing of the past? I hope not. But I don't see a bunch of music labels trying hard to agree with me on that .

Vintage Audio and Vintage Bikes, both SOUND great!

No, Sony continues to release new SACD players. So there's nothing past there.

The best possiblity is if the HDMI can pass DSD directly from the player to the Sony ES receiver. The new receivers will convert everything into DSD and use it to drive the power amps in pulse width modulation (PWM) then filter. Now, direct DSD from player to speaker output filter.

Check the Sony website for a technical background paper:

HDMI v1.2 has been approved by Sony in September for DSD transmission. I wonder when this will get implemented.
