Re: Oh, BTW...

Good info, thanks Ken. I have mixed feelings about IEEE1394/iLink because I have no equipment that can handle it and I have no near term plans to incorporate any IEEE1394 capable pieces into my system for this 'generation' of my home theater setup.

I'm still trying to sort out what the benefits are for IEEE1394 vs Denon Link 2. I know that IEEE1394 is a 'standard' while I believe Denon Link is proprietary to Denon.

My Denon 3803 receiver/processor doesn't have IEEE1394 and I don't want to spend the bucks on the 5803. I'll have to take a closer look at the new 3805 because if it has IEEE1394, it may be worth updating my DVD-5900 and get the more reasonably priced 3805.

Is the main advantage for IEEE1394 the elimination of all those unruly analog interconnects for multi-channel SACD?

My DVD-5900 didn't come with the IEEE1394 or Denon Link cable. I'm wondering if the previous owner lost the cables or if Denon never supplied them (even though the list of contents in the Owner's Manual states that these cables are included).
