Re: Samsungs BD-UP5000 Duo HD Player Announced!


Probably not, seeing as it is Sony-backed if I'm not mistaken. The PS3 and newest Oppo are two of the only players I know of that can transmit SACD output over HDMI instead of 8 coaxial cables. That means a processor that can accept audio over HDMI should be able to manipulate the playback however you want (crossovers, distance settings, etc) without any extra D/A or A/D conversions, which isn't the case with standard aalog tranmission. All that said, I only have one SACD disk, so.....
