Cmalak, I am under the impression that the Blu-Ray will
upsample to essentially SACD with Redbook CD's and that it will provide upsampled data at the digital audio outputs. I could be wrong on this, hense the questions. Also I am under the impression that the Blu-Ray drive is able to read the data at a quicker rate than my Wadia. Again, not sure if this is correct but one of my audio friends is of the impression that a DVD drive operates at a higher read rate than his CD dedicated transport and that a Blu-Ray will operate at a higher rate still.
I am contemplating adding the Blu-Ray player as a front end to my Boulder to replace the Wadia.
However, I'm not sure if this would be a downgrade or not.
