If that is indeed true, that would make the BDP-83 rather unique in that respect... I'm not aware of any other player that can decode HDCD to PCM at full 20-bit resolution without also converting to analogue. It's technically trivial--the decoded HDCD data that feeds the DAC is fed in parallel to the HDMI driver. gonk made a suggestion that the 83 might have the capability you describe, but I was subsequently unable to find any verification in the online manual. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, however. I have one. It's in there.

I've got a reasonably extensive library, and have only one HDCD dosc my BD-83sSE plays it to my complete satisfaction).
What do you have on HDCD that makes this important?

I have been reading about the much better sound quality that is possible with computer audio, & wondered if the 998 will have a group C USB DAC that supports sample rates up through 24 bit / 192 kHz?

Happy2: I too would like a computer audio feed. However, I don't understand why a separate DAC is needed. It would seem that once the USB signal is received and selected for processing, it would go through the same digitial processing (or not) and DAC as any other digital signal. Am I missing something? I can understand a unique DAC on a device like the RR2150 that is otherwise entirely analog but not on a digital processor.

73Bruin: This is all new to me, but as I understand it, you are right, you don't need a separate DAC, it is the proper USB DAC.# Group A supports sample rates up through 16 bit / 48 kHz.
# Group B supports sample rates up through 24 bit / 96 kHz.
# Group C supports sample rates up through 24 bit / 192 kHz. I got this from the FAQ on audiophilecomputer.com.

Most of the things that I would like have already been covered. I do want to include my strong suggestion and support of wireless communication internally and not with a out side or add on Box or repeater.

C'Mon Man!! Maybe you can use your old preamp as an input to the 978.

Since I sold it 26 years ago, I'm afraid that option is no longer available.

I used to own the Model 1050 AV Receiver and loved the sound and ease of use, it has been by far the best audio receiver I've ever owned. I am very interested in the Model 978, however I really would like my next Receiver to include AirPlay. The Pioneer VSX-1021 has what looks like a great implementation where an iPhone or iPad app can both turn on and off the Receiver as well as choose music and adjust volume. Is this something that could be included in a future product of yours? Thanks!
