Thank you. As you point out I will not be using a home theater processor. Instead, I will be using a Placette passive multi channel line stage; all audio and video processing will be done internally by the player I decide on. The HDMI output would strictly be for video, not audio. I take it that 20 feet would not be limitation for HDMI? That would be great HDMI works because SDI is so expensive (more expensive than most players). I will definitely consider the Onkyo.Thanks for the avsforum.com link. I think I will post my questions there as well.

I have the sp 1000 and directly compared it to the 3910 and 5900 for a month.
The sp 1000 is better balanced and more musical on all formats than the Denons.
Stereo..Germany gave it 87% cd/90%DVD-A and 95%sa-cd.
It has a superior build and the video has a smoother background and really pops as compared to the Denons.
As far as the lip sync through digital connections, most do not have this and my player shows zero signs of it after almost 3 months.
I use a RAM rev2 10m hdmi/dvi cable without problems also.Also of note is the fact that every single pro comparison availble of the sp 1000, has it as being superior in every category over the other top Japanese, or in the case of Denon, chinese made players.
Its been compared to both Denons, Marantz 9500 and the Pioneer 59avi and came out on top in all availble pro comparisons so far.
I also tested the built in dts/dd through analog and it is by far the best I have heard in this respect also.

HDMI and DVI-D interfaces are not designed for long cable runs.Gefen has some nice interfaces to extend the connection.

with appropriately designed cables. I'm getting pretty decent results with a 16m DVI cable. I doubt "buffering" the signal would offer much improvement.That Geffen might be overkill for the 20 ft distance he was considering.
Slightly off-topic (hi-rez audio) aren't we ?
