I have a few hundred SACDs. My Oppo players output the DSD layer over HDMI. My Bryston DAC3 has HDMI inputs. It sounds amazing and so far Sony hasn't sent a SWAT team to haul me off to a Penitentiary.
It's amazing that the Mola Mola people would make such an ignorant statement. I was wondering if I should spend a work bonus on a Tambiqui but if they are that stupid it's giving me cause for pause
