Differences - Sunfire Theater Grand II and III

The II doesn't have 6 channel analog input - honest - if you need confirmation, look on the back for the six discrete inputs. What you're taking about is the DB-25 connector for direct connection [without a bundle of wires] to an external processor or DVD player that has its own processor.
I passed on a II because it didn't have the capability to work with DVD-A / SACD and went with a III.

I went from a II to a IV because I wasn't happy with the cheesy DB-25 connector. The II DOES, however, provide input for 6 channel - I was using it!!

Call SUnfire and they will confirm this - its just that it inputs thru the DB-25 connector. If you are happy with the sound, go for the II - it will take 6 channel inputs and process them. If not, there are the III and IV.

Hey Snofun3, as a newbie I may have passed on some bad information. When I said the II had six channel analog input, I was talking about the DB-25 via an adapter. Are they one and the same? Is there an advantage to using a the III with six discrete inputs? My CDP is Denon 3910 with 6 RCA into DB-25 adapter. Your post makes me think I am missing out on something by using the DB-25. Is this true? I think this info. would be of interest to Kira as well.
