Does this reciever have a Multi-Channel option for Multi-Channel SACD's ?

The 3010 supports SACD playback by either straight multi-channel PCM (i.e. decoded by your SACD player) or direct DSD decoding (i.e. decoded by the 3010 itself). If you're asking whether it has analog multi-channel inputs, unfortunately it does not. Multi-channel SACD playback would have to be done via HDMI.

I can find no mention of multi-channel SACD in the instruction manual. It would probably depend on the music source CD/DVD player supporting SACD that you plug into the receiver.

According to the manual, this device supports the following: AC3/DTS/MP3/WMA/WAV/OGG/AAC/APE/FLAC and you can find their manual online at: http://www.incredisonic.com/imp150.html where you can see their manual as well. I hope that helps!

I have no idea, I bought mine from SounSeller in WI through Amazon and their add says nothing about "old version". You should inquire with the seller of this one (Portable Sounds). It may have something to do with the HDMI connection. My machine has performed very well so far with SACD. With CDs my Audio Research CD3 sounds better with some but others sound better on the SONY.

Yes, you can decode DSD. I have Pioneer BDP-62FD and bunch of SACD disks, they all play through HDMI to Yamaha no problem. It supports 2ch to 5.1ch DSD's.

It has multiple source input but there is only one L/R output that's either on or off. It hooks up between the audio source(s) and your receiver.

No, there are 2 stereo outs. Because stereo = 2 channels (left and right) it is listed as 4 channel output. You need 8 channel output so that you would have 4 stereo channels. There are very few audio interfaces that support 4 stereo outputs. You need something like a Native Instruments Traktor Scratch A10.

I understand that there is a firmware update that supposedly fixes this issue. Also, it is my understanding that TV must be hooked up to initially set up and play audio CDs and SACDs. As I'm only interested in audio playback, this is important to know. Can anyone confirm? Perhaps L.Go since you have the unit and have played the disks.

SACD and DVD-Audio are different. It's no more a "disguise" than a cassette tape "hiding" an 8 track.

Strange question, are you trying to feed a DSD signal to this device or extract DSD FROM the device? DSD won't pass through optical, so that answers that question, and you are going to have to look at this product specs carefully, as so many electronic components convert "pure" DSD to PCM. You might get true, native DSD out of one of the outputs, if it has a true DSD signal, and I realize you never say DSD which is (SACD), Super Audio Compact Disc is, in it's purest form DSD, or direct stream digital, but so many manufacturers cheat on truly getting a DSD signal out of the outputs, I would check it carefully. If I knew exactly what you are doing, I could probably answer this question better! If I play a true, native DSD SACD disc on one of my Sony SACD players, the conversion from DSD is made internally to ANALOG outputs, but I do get the true advantages of SACD playback, true DSD, of course I got rid of all Sony equipment, as they don't carry parts after about two years, and purchased the Oppo 105D which also passes DSD in it's true native form, as does the older Sony SACD players, and it does a dozen other important things as well. Be careful how much money you spend on Sony anything, as they do not stand behind their products, I can write a book on that.

Not sure if I understood your question correctly. I had this impression that SACDs can only be decoded directly by disc players which can read SACDs, i.e. by the on-board D/A Converter. On those same players, the signals won't come through coaxial and optical. What works through these signals are the normal CD layer (red book). On the other hand, DSD 2.8/5.6 digital music files is compatible and can playback on the Sony HAP-S1. I have tried them myself. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. This unit contains four seperate amplifiers and a seperate volume and throughput for each one. It is a true discrete four channel amplifier. We use it for two sets of headphones on those occassions when the quality of audio available on the TV is low and turning up the volume only increases the distortion. Great for folks with hearing loss or those wanting to hear programing without disturbing others. Four seperate channels, each with its own inputs, outputs and volume controls. It even includes two sets of outputs per channel so that either the older and larger style male plugs can be used as well as the newer min-stereo plugs. It has a green power on led in the front indicating it is plugged in to a power source. I'm very happy with it.

Documentation does not suggest any onboard SPDIF. Microcenter review also confirms. For 7.1 see this note: To configure 7.1-channel audio, you have to use an HD front panel audio module and enable the multi-channel audio feature through the audio driver.

Hello, Thank you for your interest in our gear. The XDA-2 DAC is a great product, and is usually after the CD player in the signal path. Based on that, it has digital inputs (2 digital optical, 2 digital coaxial, 1 AES/ EBU, and 1 USB) and no analog inputs. So unfortunately you would not be able to run an analog input into the DAC. If your SACD player does have one of the digital ports, you can connect it out of the CD player into the XDA-2. If you are wanting to run the XDA-2 into the SACD player I am unaware if that is possible, you will need to check with your SACD player manufacture to confirm. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. I hope you have a great rest of the day.

This is a high quality 2.1 channel system that accepts RCA or stereo mini-pin. It doesn't have 5.1 inputs.

It has 5 seperate inputs but you are not required to use all of them. It will operate using just 1 center channel if your receiver only outputs 1 channel.

If you are asking if it decodes 7.1 DTS and has 8 discrete outputs for the total of 8 channels, then the answer is no. I don't know of any BD player that does this. Maybe one of the very expensive players does. Just look at a picture of the back - does it have outputs for 8 channels.

I am very interested in what you find out. I am looking at the 980H mainly as a cd/sacd/dvd-a player.I have read many reviews on it and none have mentioned that the first few seconds of cd are cut off, the only one being on this site.Very interesting.
