Class H amps?
So if Class H is still analog, what is BENEFIT over A/B. Just power consumption/weight? I get the benefit of full Class D (big power, low consumption, low weight, cheap) and why it is used in applications where those advantages are very benefitial... 
Class H amps?

Is that 5.1 SACD or just a DSD high res file of the normal stereo recording?    
Friday Night in San Francisco - SACD? Rumours?

Low cost SACD player with remote, display and SACD over HDMI
@elliottbnewcombjr I have a Oppo 103 on the way and will try it. Since it will be in my main system, it must integrate well (remote, HDMI, 4k) and easy to use, as well as provide good sound in 2.1 and 5.1 (SACD over HDMI) with my Onkyo. It was 1/2...
