good questions,
I am getting ready to purchase a couple of 985v
400 DVD changers from sony and load each up with
movies and music.
The receiver I am looking at only has one multi
channel input, so I will be forced to put my SACD
disks in one player by itself and will be forced
into only having SACD sound in one room only,
even though I will have a 7.1 channel theatre
in the main living room and a 5.1 channel system
wired to the den, a useless loss of features.
If the changers are daisy chained can't you use only one multi-input channel on your receiver to make them work for SACD?
And the fact that the sony's don't support DVD
audio is a bummer, because even if i bought an
another DVD audio cabable player, I wouldn't have
a place to plug it in.
Sony is the competitor of DVD audio. They would be happy if there competitors disappeared.
Interestingly, one of the receivers I was considering,
the Sony STR D5000ES, has two multichannel inputs.
Like sony knows you have to go out and purchase
another machine for the DVD audio...
Strange indeed.
Thinking out loud now (sorry), but I guess I could
just Y the multichannel output from the changer
to each receiver. I am sure audiophiles would
all roll their eyes at that one....
