Hi, while on this subject, so there are decoders in the players? Unlike the normal CD and DVD players that only have the 5.1 available through a digital output(no internal DA converter)?
I'm currently using a combo DVD/CD, that has 5.1 anolog out(try to find one of these now!), so if I was to go for DVD-A or SACD, I wouldn't need an outboard processor to go into my anolog reciever, that does not contain a DA converter? Thanks for your time.
Follow Ups:
1. There are many players with built-in decoders for DTS/DD and these have 5.1 analog outputs. AFAIK, this is typical.
2. There are very few DVD-A/SACD players that will output these formats in digital form. The standard, still, is that these formats are output as 5.1 or 6 channel analog and you must use a receiver or pre/pro with 6channel analog inputs.
