Apple TV vs Squeezebox touch
Neither gadget has any hard drive. Storage resides in the networked computer or on a NAS.Kal 
Digital question...
The requirement is to make sure that the Panasonic TC-P65VT30 outputs stereo PCM only! TV's and disc players can output various flavors of Dolby and dts and no standard audiophile DAC can handle these.Kal

dac or sacd?
While I am definitely committed to multichannel, it is plain wrong to say that you need a decent, or any, multichannel system to "properly" play SACD. All SACDs have a dedicated stereo DSD track and will play "properly" on any stereo system.Kal

New HT - Separates Upgrade Options?
1. Oppo 93 is a good choice.2. I do not know the AC M3 but the roomEQ in the Arcam 888 (an otherwise able performer) is cursory.3. For 2 subs and roomEQ, you should consider only prepros with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 as it can handle two separate sub ...

Best center I have heard is a pair of 20.1s with their tweeter strips abutting and angled sharply. ;-)Kal 
HDMI to Multi-channel audio adaptor
Do you really think that the DACs and output stage of the Octava or similar will be in the class of what is in the Oppo 95 or similar? It will certainly work as will similar devices from Atlona and others.Kal

Mcintosh MX 150 any one heard it yet?
"The 5 HDMI inputs DO NOT process the signal. " That, of course, applies to video processing only. HDMI audio is processed as needed.Kal
