DVI is disappearing. HDMI supercedes it. Look at the new players and displays coming out. 95% of them have HDMI, not DVI. But HDMI right now does not pass SACD/DSD. It might never. And even if it does, components with HDMI *today* probably will not be software upgradeable to accomplish that. Plus, HDMI cannot give a jitterless digital audio connection. i.Link can. And i.Link passes SACD/DSD now. I don't envy the Outlaw's decision concerning DVI vs HDMI vs i.Link. But I personally think they made a mistake choosing DVI.
