PCM audio via HDMI
Your AVR is responding to the handshake from the monitor. There should be some setting in the AVR menu to fix that by not sending audio to the monitor or defeating some feature.

Blu Ray Audio has any one tried it?
There is no increased resolution in BD-A compared with SACD. The main justification for BD is commercial in that there is a larger market because there are so many more BD players in use. Just be attentive to the source material and the resolution...

If you want SACD, look for the Pentatone collection boxes.http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/7466

My only issue was that you posted so soon that I was unable to amend my post and had to make an additional one.No problem.

Let me amend my statement but saying that I am skeptical of the 2.7ms latency holding for all uses.Kal

Ozzy, DSpeaker says the time delay to process is equal to about 3 feet of sound travel, so placing your subs 3 feet closer to you than your main speakers will cancel that problem. They also state that it is very minimal and not to worry about that... 
Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz
I have not had problems with the room correction in either the Marantz or the Yamaha and, yes, the Yamaha will handle two independant subs.

So, Bol972, if you will not tell everyone "how I do it," your recommendations are not useful since no one else can do it your way. Also, how does your measurements "at totally different places and hights" not apply equally to XT32 as you say they ... 
Optimal vertical position of bass traps in corner?
Yes, it does. Placing it in a tricorner (intersection of three boundaries) will allow it to interact maximally with all three major room modes (L,W,H). This means that placing it in the corner at the floor or at the ceiling is more effective than ... 
Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise?
Another exception is Ayre.

DSP processor or a proper crossover. 
New DSD DAC. Recommendations please
The exaSound DACs will play up to 4xDSD as well as DXD. Also, the e28 will handle up to 8 channels. Some more comments here: http://forum.stereophile.com/content/music-round-63-page-2

1. Overlap has nothing to do with time delay; it is the inevitable concomitant of using a sub with main speakers.2. Calibrating the sub with AM 2.0 is what inserts the delay in the sub because the processing takes time. It cannot reduce/change it....
