[/quote]Anyone else out there with an 886 and a BDP-83 using the multi-channel analog inputs? If so, how are you doing your setup? And do you find it to be an improvement over using HDMI for for High resolution audio like SACD?[/quote]

My 886 was delivered on Tuesday and I'll be setting it up tomorrow/Saturday. I plan on trying it with multichannel analog and HDMI so I'll let you know what I find out. Probably my fault, but I'd assumed that the 886 would apply Audyssey to the multichannel inputs too...that may mean I don't hang onto it as I'd wanted to use the 83SE's DAC's over the 886's but still be able to apply room correction via Audyssey. Guess I'll see.
