    DAC-away with 18 of them, count 'em and weep...
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I saw it at the HE2003 show and it was great. They also used a new ES 9000 receiver to power the speakers used in the demo. If you like the great music reproduction of SACD you will fall in love with this player. This SACD demo was one of the highlights of the show.

    My XA777ES has 6 DAC's, one for each channel in multi and three for each channel in stereo. Does anyone know if the new model will use nine for each channel in stereo?
