New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Good point...

...about the Onkyo's lack of speaker distance adjustment for SACD. That is a disadvantage of the Onkyo. I also noticed that these settings have no effect on 192 kHz/176.4 kHz DVD-Audio either. I suppose the latter doesn't make any difference though, as I've never heard of multichannel DVD-A with sampling frequencies higher than 96 kHz.

Another area where the newest Denons have the advantage over the Onkyo is in the area of bass management. The Onkyo has only a fixed crossover frequency which I believe is at 80 Hz, while the Denons have variable crossover frequencies of 40 Hz, 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz and 120 Hz. For SACD, I believe using the bass management requires converting the DSD to PCM. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.
