I am happy owner of Rotel CD player, new to home theater. I was all set to get RSX-1055 AV-Receiver when I saw some listings (Home Theater magazine's and the Sound and Vision magazine's Buyer's Guide for 2003) that confused me...
1. Does the RSX-1055 truly and fully support DVD-A and SACD...? I think this means being/allowing 6-channel, with inputs that allow for analog bypass all internal processors, will pass an unaltered hi-rez signal from SACD/DVD-A. My actual speaker set-up is "5.1" (L/R/C front, L/R surround, Sub), but will want to be able to fully exploit sonic benefits of DVD-A & SACD in future. Some potential for confusion/overlap/distinction in use of the word "channel" for decoding algorithms and receiver amplifier outputs, versus use of the word "channel" for surround speaker configuration... help (smile)!
2. Does the RSX-1055 model truly & fully support HD-TV... I think that this means not just having component video switching, but also bandwidth of >37mHZ...?
fyi: My interest is in quality sound, including HDCD decoding, and simple to use; not a lot of fancy effects. The alternative would seem to be the similarly priced and featured NAD T-762; see:
