If you can turn it on/off with the remote, it must be in "Stand-By." It could not respond to the remote if it was really powered off.Kal

Digital to Digital decoder?
That is a tough one. For a USB output, my modded Oppo would probably do it. For S/PDIF, I am at a loss for anything other than an expensive processor like the Tact, Meridian or Theta.Anything else is a custom job.Kal 
Digital to Digital decoder?

Digital to Digital decoder?
Rare. I have a player that will do it but most such are expensive or custom mods.What are you going to do with those 3 S/PDIF feeds and how will you control volume?Kal

EMM DCC2-SE or Sony 5400ES for HiRez downloads?
Why put the downloads on disc? If you have a computer to store the downloads, all you need is a USB-input DAC or a Squeezebox Touch to enjoy them.Kal

Difference between biampable and non-biampale spea
IMHO, it applies equally to bi-wiring and to bi-amping unless one can provide an active custom crossover to replace the built-in ones.Kal 
Front Speaker Cable Lengths
The only real reason for buying matched lengths in a set of cables is for their resale value.Kal 
Front Speaker Cable Lengths
It is nonsense. Length differences in speaker cables are inconsequential in normal domestic situations (unless they are on the order of a kilometer)Kal
