I was unaware that SA-CD would not play over an Optical audio line, my speakers have optical audio in, or S/PDIF. I thought, I could connect directly into that and get SA-CD quality. Now I am seeing it may take more work to set up a proper system. I will do a bit more research. I was not going to be permanently set up running my disc player into my speakers, I was just doing that until I got a receiver. I am not an expert on receivers, but I figured the new 4K 7.2 channel receivers seem to be the thing to get and I thought they would work well with any older technologies besides 4K discs. I will check out other 4K receivers. I am like I say no expert on audio equipment, but sadly there are no longer audio stores around here where I live to go in and discuss these things with like in the 90's, but audiokarma is a great substitute for those days! You guys are great help, you really helped me with choosing a good turntable, and I knew nothing about anti skate or any of that, and now I feel like an expert on turntables lol. I will read up on the sony's some more, I might end up going for an OPPO, it was my second choice, and second choice only because of the price, if it were lower priced it'd be my #1 choice. But now that I'm thinking about it, it's probably worth the extra money to go for it and know I'm probably buying the best there is, I have a tendency like a lot of people probably to buy the lower cost item, even when I know it's probably not as good of quality, but lately I'm stopping that, I didn't do it with my turntable, and I probably shouldn't do it with this disc player I plan to get, because I am so happy with my turntable, and I remember how unhappy I was with my Stanton turntable, I don't want to end up unhappy with a cheaper disc player, and think if only I spent a bit more I could have had a superior machine.
