In Reply to: RE: What will I gain by using a 5.1 Analog connection? posted by David Aiken on July 8, 2007 at 14:57:36:
Unfortunately, I doubt anyone will have it yet for HD video for quite a while yet (both pre/pro and source player solutions - maybe the Pioneer Elite comes closest).
I'm hoping the source player will eventually be good enough but I have my doubts this will happen anytime soon; I've heard from one possible "Player" that they will stay out of the HD format wars until a clear winner emerges. If I can get a suitable source, I might be able to avoid an HDMI-capable pre/pro solution and stick with my plain-jane DD/DTS pre/pro for the next 10 years.
As it stands right now, I get the impression none of the high-end companies will have good pre/pro and/or source player solutions for HD video and HD audio (e.g. DTS HD MA decoding) for some time yet. In the meantime, I've opted for the source players' 5.1 analog output "mass-market" quality DACs for the near-term with uncompressed PCM soundtracks and the pre/pro's DTS 1.5M DTS core output when using DTS HD MA-encoded discs.
