Thanks for the clarifications Jaco. To be honest, I'm not that interested in 'true' multi-channel audio (although I am a big fan of Trifield). I am however interested in 2-channel DVDA/SACD.

Are you implying that with 2-channel, I'd simply use the analogue outs on the Pioneer? Has anyone experimented with this and used Trifield?

Would I be missing the point though as there would be a Dig>Ana>Dig conversion going on?
