Ruebent, your comment:
"when connected with a Sony Digital Receiver via its iLink connection. This creates a signal that stays in the digital domain all the way to the speaker."
just wanted to mention that in order for that to be the case, it would have to be an ACTIVE speaker with a DAC connected to do that. If that is the case, then you are correct.
If using POP (Plain Old Passive) :-) speakers, The signal stays in the digital domain leaving the SACD player and uses the DAC in the receiver, but the receiver outputs an amplified analog signal that drives a PASSIVE speaker.
Good listening!
