That's why I bought the 93.

BR, Nick

Isn't the player that's feeding HDMI audio via one of it's outputs (and video) still electrically connected to the video display or video processor ?

How is the HDMI connected player (with it's own high speed DSP) more isolated than the HDMI connected audio processor ?
