The SR250 has multiple HDMI inputs, and can decode DD, DTS, and all the other codes.I assume (since it doesn't mention) that the SA30 needs a PCM stream.

I like the look of that a lot.I don't think it would be cost effective for me personally as I have a nearly new A39.It sounds very similar power-wise to the A39.I wouldn't mind room correction, I still think it would be cheaper to add it exteranlly than sell up and buy this.It also doesn't look like it's got a USB input on the DAC like the other SA amps.There's no mention of it.

I am reasonably certain the answer is no, it will not offer any video passthrough at all. For that you need the SR250.

Do you mean HT bypass. If so there’s a good chance it will. As I believe the SA10 and SA20 have it.

Arcam call it processor mode and the manual for the SA10 and SA20 says it can be applied to any inputs.

That means the SA30 is really an All rounder ! might be my next gear addition (hoping it floats within 2 Grand...)
