So can I assume the 5400es is outputting DSD via its analogue outputs?

I really thought DSD out was only through the HDMI connection on this machine? Hence my presumption on the DSD to PCM conversion.

The analog outputs of your player only output an analog signal, just as if it were a turntable or other analog-only component. The digital-to-analog conversion takes place inside the player. The only question is whether, in this case, it's a direct DSD-to-analog converstion, or a DSD-to-PCM-to-analog conversion. Your 5400es does DSD-to-analog, so you don't have to worry about any intermediate steps potentially degrading the signal.

The HDMI cable carries a digital signal to whatever other component (receiver, etc.) you have it connected to. In this case, the digital-to-analog conversion takes place in that other component; the only question is whether that other component can handle the DSD signal. If it cannot, your player gives you the option of converting the DSD to PCM and sending a PCM signal throught the HDMI out. (DSD-capable receivers are quite rare, while practically every receiver with HDMI inputs can process 24-bit multichannel PCM.)

One of these options may well be best suited for your setup, while the other options best suited for someone else's setup. That's why the manufacturer made your player as versatile as possible.

Wheatus,

How do I get to download from here ? I've tried every click possible on the site and didn't find how to start the download.

I struggled with that too. It's not very intuitive but I recall when you proceed with a donation (which apparently can also be $0) the way shows itself.
