I'd forgotten to check out good old Richer Sounds!

The Panny looks really interesting especially sound-wise- even 'tube' type filters, which while not purist might be kinda fun! Also on the Panny (and the Oppo), you can even select the sample rate it outputs on that output- important if I'm using it direct into DSPs...

On the S790, I couldn't see in the manual how/whether it decodes formats down to 2-ch stereo on the Digital Coaxial out. Can anyone confirm whether it will do this, and what sampling rate conversions might take place?
