Any high end Pre/Pro's with i-Link audio S400 ?

I think I answered this on another forum...

Sashua,

none of the brands you listed can do this.

Sashua, I hear you on this topic. I have both Esoteric gear and DCS gear, but nothing that receives the firewire/I-link multi-channel signals. It would be nice to see a product that will accept an I-Link signal and output that signal as a multi-channel analog signal.

The EMM labs gear I had didn't have the 1394 input. The DCS gear I have doesn't have the multi-channel analog output. The Krell Pre/Pro I have doesn't accept either an I-Link digital input or even an HDMI multi-channel audio input.

I get the impression that I-Link is a plan for the future versitility of some of these SACD/DSD components.
