Appreciate your efforts Altus, and that you were reporting "state of play".

For me what's much more important as an SACD owner, is that the HD621 (or its replacement) is made to extract DSD bitstream from HDMI and send it to the 818v3 over SPDIF (presumably encrypted by MHR) - IF this is possible, which is not necessarily the case.

Or at the very least allow the HD621 to output 176/192 where the source is that.
