In Reply to: Using the built-in DD/DTS decoder through Sony TA-9000ES vs. processor? posted by Oski on August 18, 2002 at 10:20:34:
I'm not familiar with your Sony but usually the built-in decoders are not of the same quality nor as versatile as those in a separate processor.The degree of significance being dependent upon the discernment of the listener.
Upgrading the EP9ES can be done by companies like MSB Technology but it's expensive.
$600 for adding DTS to an EP9ES !!!http://www.msbtech.com/Catalog/FAQ/adddts.htm
Unless you really, really must keep the EP9ES, I would sell it and buy a processor that includes a proper analog bypass eg. the Rotel RSP-1066 which has all the DD/DTS/DPL II surround modes plus can accept the 5.1 SACD output and leave it unmolested , ie.leaves it analog.
