DVD-A and SACD

I'm thinking of a two box solution to the DVD, DVD-A, CD and SACD dilemma. From what I have seen and heard I think I might be best off with a DVD/DVD-A player with an emphasis on video, and a CD/SACD player. My question involoves the hook up. Since both players have 6 channels of analog output for the DVD-A and SACD portions how do I hook these up to processor or receiver with only one set of 6-channel inputs. Are there any units out there with TWO sets of 6-channel inputs. Do I need a separate component. Or, am I missing something.

Thanks

hear4, The Sony is a good suggestion. The model number is a TAP-9000es. I seriously considered one of these but didn't buy it because I went the SACD route. Anyway, they accept 2 sets of HQ 5.1 inputs and has a pass through for stereo. It is also remote controlled. Good luck.

If you go to Audio Asylum , SACD section and type in the search Radio Schack Switchbox , you will get the part numbers , user comments etc. I believe they are actually made for component video, hence the three inputs and outputs on each box. You got questions , Darrylhifi has answers !

I had the exact same question. Check out this thread

Basically, depending on your associated equipment, you might be a lot better off (and cheaper too) with a onebox solution i.e. pioneer 47a, marantz 8300 etc.
