OK I'm game! Well when I have the beans. I wish there was an SACD drive for the PC:mad:

Is this just for the analog outputs? My Asus Ati based video card outputs HDMI, both audio and video. It was $89 six months ago.

In, and out. It is 1.3, but it does not mention SACD compatibility:confused:

I see, I didn't notice that it did HDMI in. No need for that on my PC.

SACD only requires HDMI 1.2, but as I'm sure you've noticed, not all devices support it.

Yeah I certainly will wait to see the reviews. If it doesn't play nice with a PC BR, and SACD I do not want.
