Sell? I have found these components to provide all that I could ever want except the multi-channel SACD, so, I won't be selling them--ever. I'll likely just buy the OPPO and send it's output to P9000ES. The OPPO would replace a Panasonic BD-80 which I now use for multi-channel BluRay audio via P9000ES. Thing is, SACD is, all around, more to my liking. The OPPO appears to be my solution, but, I do have an affinity for the Sony and wish there was some way I could convert the 5400's output to analog.

You don't have to sell, keep them as a backup.  For the cost of the new Oppo, you can get the STR-DA7100ES + DVP-9100ES with greater simplicity and better sound.  I have tried this in great length hence the recommendation.  The DA9000ES & 7100ES are a state-of-the art digital amp  (Sony's best) and the multi-channel SACD via an i-link connection with these amplifier (similar to I2S) is just crazy good.  The performance via i-link is much nicer sounding than my SACDmods Sony DVP-9100ES feeding the analog input of the P/N9000ES.  The DA9000ES was retailed at 4.5k and the most expensive receiver ever made by Sony, second only to the DA9100ES (Japan model).  Please check out the link below for technology background on these receiver.
