I am using an Arcam AV9 pre/pro, but I am not sure of the HDMI capabilities.

The Arcam should be HDMI version 1.1. See the link for HDMI info
Thank you HighEndWire. Does that mean that my Pioneer Blu-ray player will send DVD-Audio to the Arcam via HDMI? If so, then I will just play them that way. I currently use the 7.1-channel analog outputs on the Pioneer because of the latest decoding formats, but I could likley use the HDMI as well.

I was not aware that the Pioneer can do DVD-A (vs. the DVD-V content of a DVD-A disc). I have not followed Pioneer's Blu-Ray models. I have a modded Oppo BDP-83 in the main system, an Oppo BDP-93 in the bedroom system (and I may swap them as I use an HDMI audio de-embedder into my DAC for hi-rez 2-channel) and an old Oppo DV980H in the basement system (which I also use with a de-embedder into a DAC for hi-rez 2-channel).
If the Pioneer is a DVD-A player, you should be able to do the decoding in your Arcam. I am not sure how the set-up works in the Pioneer. Many moons ago I had a Pioneer DV47A in the bedroom system but I had a non-HDMI rec'r at the time
I have a couple of Pioneer Dv79is. I use the firewire output. I have found that Pioneer seems to be a very reliable brand, I have a friend with a way old 563 or whatever it was for a hundred bucks and he modded it up and it is still playing strong. I bought a second 79i just to have a back up as I knew that firewire was going the way of the dinosaur.
You might like the sound of the 79i better than the 47. My friend uses the analogue outputs and likes it a lot.
And, you can pick them up way cheap, around 200 bucks.
