| digital out on sacd to in on amp. any advantage? The SONY TA-DA9000ES can accept iLink digital input from a few SACD players. This would permit you to get audio into the amp but not video. | |
| PC based analyzer Take a look at ETF, assuming that you are concerned with room/speaker acoustics. Helpful website and excellent product.Kal | |
