In Reply to: Blu-ray player analog outputs vs. Pre/pro or Receiver analog outputs. posted by oscar on December 17, 2009 at 16:42:15:
While not in the same, umm..ocean as you..my Denon AVR has performed well for several years but when it came time for me to buy a blu-ray player I had to make a decision. I was looking for a player with multi-analog out but the only ones that I found in my budget were plagued with other issues, mostly a very slow load/read time. I ended up buying a Sony 360 and for now at least using the optical out for audio (to the AVR) and HDMI for the video (to TV).
I know I'm not getting the uncompressed audio that blu-ray is capable of but it seems that everything HT related is going full digital anyway. In time I will replace my AVR with one that has full HDMI capability but until then I'm enjoying what I have.
