so far my experiences suggest that the step up in sonic differences to pcm from compressed soundtracks would be tough to enact at retail stores, and mass consumers may not be bothered, amid poorly system set-ups.dts-hd master audio and dolby digital truehd would be more sexy marketing catchwords, and explanating their discrete 8-ch sound would be more rewarding sales talk to mass consumers.
what do others think?
Follow Ups:
It did sound really good; but it should have given the system. I was auditioning the LG combo player which is looking like a good option because it'll play both HD formats.I wasn't thinking about the new HD audio formats because I don't plan on upgrading to HDMI receiver or preamp/pro anytime soon, nor have I planned a 7 speaker/amplification system. Nevertheless, my interest just shot up a notch. We were feeding analog 5.1 from the LG to pre/pro with fairly modest audio cabling and it still sounded pretty durn good.
My only concern with the LG (and perhaps most of the other Blu-ray players?) is the possible inability to support 7.1 in the future. Still a "research in work".
I want one too!
and probably no prospects for HDMI 1.3 support. I have to decide whether I want to pay more than a Grand on a player I'm probably going to have the itch to replace within 3 years time (assuming I actually upgrade the pre/pro and add the two extra channels and add a 1080p display ...).Same is true with virtually every other Blu-ray player out there TODAY. The PS 3 is the cheapest option but then I'm not likely to have anything better than DD/DTS 5.1 for years if I go this route.
