I noticed the picture posted for the new rotel receives shows an I-link (ieee 1394) conection port. Does anyone know if this something that can be added to the 1098?
i-link for 1098?

But until Rotel starts (if ever) offering SACD in their product line, I doubt they'll be adding firewire inputs to their receivers and processors.
I may be wrong, but I think Rotel's ignoring SACD is a mistake. Consumers like surround sound, and they like fewer wires.
In the end it's a SAF thing.
#1 - Surround sound - If the spouse is going to tollerate 7 speakers in the livingroom, you'd better dang well use them!
#2 - Fewer wires - Who likes a rats nest of wires? It's a pain for the audio junky for sort through, and it's ugly as sin for the spouse to look at.

Even if I think that the lack of I-Link might not be the big deal, the lack of HDMI on the 1098 surely is.- Bottom

a bit off topic perhaps,
but if you own a muliplayer with ilink
and you connect it to a receiver with ilink.
for pcm based it doen not matter where DA conversion is done. You can argue about quality of dacs in some reveivers. But most can do 24/96 or 24/192.
but for SACD they use DSD. What happes if you use Ilink. If dsd is converted to PCM and then decoded in the reveicer, it is useless.
Unless the receiver has a DSD decoder.
Any views on that ?

Check out how good this player really is when setup with all features, BM and TM.
No if a player can perform this as good, a Pre/pro or Receiver could surely do the same even if there is a DSD->PCM conversion.- Bottom
