If you plan on keeping your existing analog processor, a used Marantz DP-870 with the MSB dts mod is a good buy.Cheap at less than $500.
Easy to use, just wire it after your analog pro and before your power amps.
Sounds good too.
Plus built-in RF demodulator, if you still have laserdiscs.There's a review in Widescreen Review Issue 30.
Another cheapie is the Technics SC-AH500D, only $300 new.
To Michael W,
Very interested in your input.
I've got a Fosgate Model 3A pre-amp (THX), Parasound 1206 6 Ch amp (THX), w/B&W (THX) home theatre speakers.
Haven't bothered with DVDs yet, but do watch movies from Direct TV (satellite).
The question is - how much is there to gain by adding on Dolby Digital (or other(?)formats at this time?
Inevitably a DVD player shall be added. Will it be a profound diference with/without D.D?
If you're going to reccomend this modified Marantz DP-870 - where would somebody find such a thing?Thank you,

you won't miss it, until you've heard it. Defined rear images as oposed to ambience, adds a new dimension to movies.
... the library consists of over 300 LDs presently. I started actively acquiring them after viewing several high-end DVD players & dispising the image.
