If these models have already been brought up in the same manner, then please give me a link to the appropriate discussions. There is some inconsistancy both on the internet and among Pioneer tech support representatives about what kinds of DACs are in these players. Do they both use the PCM1742, therefore converting DSD to PCM before it reaches the DACs? Or do one, or both, of these players use the PCM1796 DACs? If at least one of them use the 1796, with the speaker sizes set to 'LARGE,' and the subwoofer set to 'ON,' will DSD signals remain DSD when they reach the 5.1 analog pre-output jacks? Or will DSD still be converted to PCM before it reaches the PCM1796 DACs?
