My point was that you can get a cheaper device to send out the DSD signal over HDMI - it's only worth the extra money for high-quality analog outputs.  Since there's no surround analog outputs, you're really just getting a really good CD player that can play SACDs in surround with an HDMI 1.2 receiver.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ubertrout]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2008 1:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's high-end SCD-XA5400ES SACD player eyes-on at CEDIA]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/04/sonys-high-end-scd-xa5400es-sacd-player-eyes-on-at-cedia/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/04/sonys-high-end-scd-xa5400es-sacd-player-eyes-on-at-cedia/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think the "No Disc" display on the front is very appropriate.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ZapBranigan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2008 10:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony's high-end SCD-XA5400ES SACD player eyes-on at CEDIA]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/04/sonys-high-end-scd-xa5400es-sacd-player-eyes-on-at-cedia/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/04/sonys-high-end-scd-xa5400es-sacd-player-eyes-on-at-cedia/</guid><description><![CDATA[How can anyone purchase a Sony product when they put out misleading tech info: e.g.  The STR -DA5400ES receiver uses the full resolution of the DSD signal (32 bit)  from input filtering through to processing the signal, then and only then does the amplifier at the final stage convert to PCM. This way you can ensure the full resolution of the DSD signal can be fully utilised.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Disbeliever]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 30th 2008 6:15AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
