HDMI, despite its troubles, has a little more going for it than simply "making all expensive rip-off price analogue cables redundant". Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I am using the excellent Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD/SACD player for both Stereo & multi channel sound with its partner Sony receiver STR-DA5400ES with low jitter H.A.T.S. enabled and the Digital Legato Link feature makes early CD's sound better. However HDMI connection is definately the way forward as it makes all expensive rip-off price analogue cables redundant I have compared the Chord Active.75 m £85 to my usual Linx I.2 HDMI I.3 £7.50 cable and there is only a very slight improvement in sound, being a Hi-Fi Addict I have decided to keep the Chord whether it is worth almost IO times the price only the listener can decide.
