You are correct, but you must select PCM instead of bitstream for the DVD player output, then a standard 2-channel DAC will decode the signal on the digital cable.In order to decode DD 2.0 you need to be in bitstream mode and then you need a standard 5.1 DD decoder in your processor or receiver to decode the DD bitstream signal coming from the DVD player.
