without the 6 analog cables, how would one enjoy 6 channel output?

Maybe I'm just a little slow, but why can't they use digital coax or optical for the SACD or DVD-A format? It seems silly to be using 6 RCA cables when the technology is available for 1 cable.

The amount of data required for high resolution multichannel output is too great for the standard Digital optical or coaxial link. Therefore, until a faster digital link is accepted, the high rez mixes must be decoded by the player, and sent via analog to the receiver. Denon has such a link ready to go, but its use has not yet been approved by the digital copyright police.

Is the Denon one yet another relabeling of Firewire? I know that Firewire is also under consideration for this purpose. If Sushi were still around, I'm sure he'd be happy to tell us about it (although he'd insist on calling it i.LINK.

The cable companies must be scared. Soon we'll only have two digital cables coming out of the back of our players. One for video and one for audio. Heck, someday that'll probably also be replaced by only one. Hey...maybe even wireless! Can you imagine that! An entire A/V system with NO wires. That would be cool.
Anyway...to get back on track a bit. I grabbed the 563a at lunch yesterday. Hooked it up last night at about midnight and got it all set up. (Had a heck of a time figuring out why it wasn't playing back the 5.1 mix)...anyways haven't really had a chance to give it a good listen, but so far so good. Billy Joel sounded incredible.

spiff....did you have the 563a set for large or small speakers?
Getting SACDs to play 5.1 was a stumper....until I read the manual.

You read the manual? I bet you stop and ask for directions when you're lost too, don't you?
Right now the speakers are set for small, and it sounded pretty darn good. I haven't had a chance to play with anything yet.

It was a last resort. DVD-A's were playing in 5 channel...but not SACDs....I was desperate!

I have all my speakers set to small, and I think SACD's and DVD-A's sound fantastic on my 563. I never get the impression that the bass is all coming from the corner of the room where my Hsu is. I've been tempted to get an ICBM (even bid on one on Ebay), but right now I'm mostly blown away with my multichannel audio. It's going to get even better when my M2's come.
