SCD-XA9000ES - yea msrp of 3,000 us, multi-channel, and a DAC made of eighteen separate SA DAC chips
This is Sony's first Super Audio CD player to offer an i.LINK/firewire digital output with 5C Digital Transmission Content Protection and not anything proprietary. When Digital out for DSD (SACD) first came up, Sony said no digital output will be supported ever. I guess they got a clue that people want Digital for this. Just look at Pioneer, Denon, Meridian, even Sunfire now ( player to come ).
