Just an update, I bought the 563 for $130 at bestbuy along with DSOTM and I have to say I am impressed with the sound quality of sacd and the pioneer to this point, however, what is the problem with a digital connection for these formats? Is it a copyright problem with the major studios? The cables are a bit much.One more thing,the selection at the local Bestbuy/Circuit City is not very impressive, especially at Circuit city where they mix it in with regular cd's. Gheez, it's a wonder they have sold as many as they have.jmho.......
