My Integra DTC-9.8 actually supports it but if you want any of the goodies like Audyssey, Bass Management, Time Alignment (i.e. necessary things) it does DSD -> PCM conversion. You can decode DSD directly but then you lose all of those things. I assume the Pio/Denon receivers are the same way, so again you end up in the same boat of PCM conversion - as losing BM, TA, and room EQ will do far more harm to the end output than any type of format conversion will.
