I am cheating / leveraging on my RadianceXE...that is SONOS ZP 90 --> RadianceXE --> HD621 --> 861...that is, without the RadianceXE this would NOT be possible...

HTH[/quote] Very interesting. So you use the Radiance for converting the Sono's (Squeezebox would probably do the same) digital audio output to an HDMI signal to be fed into the HD621? Do you know about a cheaper way to do this SPDIF or Toslink to HDMI conversion of an audio signal?
