Last I looked. I didn't see the latest edition of Stereophile but it promised last month it would do a review of that AVR and I want to check it out. I cannot believe though for the price it would be anything else but entry level for sound quality.

I'm unsure about outputting audio through 5.1 analogs. I have no experience other than what I read on forums but it sure seems the audio signal is weak on most players utilizing this instead of going through coaxial or optical and just using DD or DTS for the sound. It may be these first gen players or the amp utilized though more so than the audio track one is trying to play.

We haven't actually seen companies dealing with higher end equipment dipping into high def yet so there isn't any real high quality out there IMHO!
