But in fact TrueHD is well-represented by HD DVD

Just refer back to the Wikipedia article on TrueHD and look at the HD DVD movies that include it already: There's a fair number already released, or soon to be. Not so much in Blu-Ray because TrueHD support isn't mandatory there, so you need to select your B-D player with some care.

What's the big deal about "King Kong" anyway? Is it a great movie or something? I've never watched it myself and had no great desire to do so. If you say it has a mediocre soundtrack, I'll take your word for it, but I don't think that is an indictment against HD DVD, any more than a mediocre first release of "Fifth Element" was for Blu-Ray. You want to see compression artifacts, look at the banded sky in "Ice Age 2" on Blu-Ray. Better yet, don't bother because it wasn't that great a movie.

I've thought about using some analog connections between disk players and amplifiers, but some of the specs for those high-def players make me think there are weasel words in there, and that I might not have access to the highest quality signal unless I use HDMI 1.3x. Could be wrong, but since I'm starting the cinema sound system from scratch, I'm planning on using all-digital connections.
