Any insider knowledge on whether this player will be capable of both multichannel DVD-A and SACD? If so will it convert the DSD into PCM to accomplish this ala Pioneer AX-10? <<

Let me put this one to bed before any wild rumours start circulating. Look again at the report about the "SACD-2000," it is from February 2000! The reporter is discussing our demo at the Paris AES last year. Unfortunately, the first prototype M-ch machine we made (gold chassis a la Marantz) was called the SCD2000. PLEASE, do no confuse this with the SACD-2000 model which is expected to appear later this year. (The SCD2000 was like three SA-1s in the same chassis.)

As for DVD-A, we have no plans to include it in any of our players at this time.
