Maybe they will do something like sata for computers, which initially had the same problem and fell out way too often. Some sort of extra tension on the cable is what I have seen, ala a steel clamp arrangement on the connector.

Again: if I'm missing something, please correct me. I don't see what the big deal is about using HDMI. If I didn;t have external speakers, amp, pre/pro etc I would want the HDMI for audio as well as video. So I guess I would have to say that I think carrying the audio is for me (and maybe most of us) superfluous. Like who cares...unless you need to send audio to your TV speakers.
Corrections welcomed if needed.Thanx

I guess I'm in the minority but the big deal about HDMI for me "today" is a way to get SACD and DVD-A into my Pre-Pro. I know these formats haven't taken off big time, but I have a pretty big collection of them. Right now there is no way to get those formats into the Pre/Pro digitally. Why spend money on a nice Pre/Pro if you are only going to use it as an Analog PreAmp? If HDMI isn't ready yet at least give me a Firewire connection until HDMI is done cooking.

Thanks very much for all the answers here. This is an awesome forum.
I've been in the video / audio space for many years. If I get confused I can only imagine the challenge looming for less experienced folk.
Again thanks Rob

Hi guys, I'm interested in getting the Pioneer DV-48AV DVD Player, as a dedicated SACD and DVD-Audio multichannel audio player, and running it through my Outlaw 990 to my 5.1 setup. I'm a bit discouraged by obie_fl's post, which I've quoted above! Can someone please tell me the best way to connect the DV-48AV into my 990? The DV-48AV has the following outputs: * HDMI (can send either DSD or PCM audio from this output) * Optical * Coax digital * 5.1 Analog (groan) Also do I understand correctly that DVI doesn't carry audio data, so this means that using an HDMI-to-DVI cable between the DV-48AV's HDMI output to my 990's DVI input will produce video, but not audio? Thanks for your help! -Jeff

Can someone please tell me the best way to connect the DV-48AV into my 990? For DVD-Audio and SACD, you will need to use the multichannel analog. For DVD and CD, the optical or coaxial digital connection will work. Also do I understand correctly that DVI doesn't carry audio data, so this means that using an HDMI-to-DVI cable between the DV-48AV's HDMI output to my 990's DVI input will produce video, but not audio? Correct. See my HDMI FAQ for the details of what HDMI is and how DVI relates to it. As an aside, the list price on the 48AV is $299. I suspect it's available for less. We have been told to expect an announcement for OPPO Digital within the next week of a lower-cost Blu-ray player that would compliment their BDP-83 . If it arrives with a multichannel analog output, it could be an alternative. The BDP-83 supports DVD-A and SACD, so this new player likely will as well. The benefit is that if you want to have Blu-ray in the system alongside DVD-A and SACD, you need all three in one chassis so they can all use the multichannel analog input.

Why am I not able to go from the DA-48AV's optical output into my 990? I assume the DV-48AV can push a PCM bitstream through this output just as it can through the audio portion of its HDMI output. Also, I have successfully routed the 5.1 audio from my Mac Mini optical output into the 990 for movie-viewing, so I know "it works". As an aside, the list price on the 48AV is $299. I suspect it's available for less ... OPPO BDP-83 supports DVD-A and SACD The 48AV isn't made anymore, and therefore shows up on eBay for $50 to $100. It's a great low-risk way of checking out SACD and DVD-A audio without spending a ton of cash. That's my plan, at least. If I like it, and the media doesn't prove to be too expensive given that it's a 99% dead (i.e., expensive collector's) format, I can definitely see a future upgrade to a more modern unit like the OPPO, which supports Blu-Ray as well. -Jeff
