I researched both of the links you kindly provided and, put simply, the DAC is too expensive ... but the Pioneer unit you linked me to is more like it. Considering the pace of technology, do you have a newer and/or better recommendation now?



Thanks for your time...


If the Sony has two HDMI output - one can go to the TV and one to the HDMI DAC.

The Pioneer is an Elite player and will cost more than the Sony.

There is a “better” model called the LX800 but I prefer the 500 for its AKM DAC
