Hi all,
I was all set to order a Yamaha 303 receiver when I was informed by a friend that it wouldn’t playback the DSD stream from a SACD over coaxial and that the audio would be downsampled. So this has now got me looking at AVR‘s in the hope that my devices won’t be hit by the HDMI 2.1 bug if plugged into the AVR as I have runout of ports on my Samsung 55” Q70.
The devices I currently have connected are
Xbox One X (Not Series X)
Sky Q 2tb Box
Amazon Firestick 4K
On the HDMI (Arc) Denon AVR X2000 (which is now pretty much useless for my HDCP 2.2 devices & VTuner without the search.
The only devices I am looking at getting in the near future are the Sony UBP-X700 & PlayStation 5
Can anyone please tell me if the AVR is worth getting for my current and chosen future devices, or am I best of getting the Yamaha 303 for audio but without the full SACD quality. By all means if there is any other audio device that can handle playing sound from SACD, then I am all ears.
Many thanks
