So by not testing the HD audio formats, you're now thinking you won't be impressed by it?
No, no, not at all. By not testing the HD audio formats I can now safely
assume I won't be impressed by it. What do you want me to do, verify everything with "
facts".
But seriously, the jump from CD audio (over a cheap DVD play) to BluRay over the PS3 was so minor in my room that the comparative improvement in bandwidth between DD and DDHD would likely be similar. I'm not saying DDHD is not better - not at all. Just a marginal returns issues, as is always the case with HT. For me, it means get the projector before worrying about a new AVR. Although, it also tells me those damn monitors i heard that blew my mind were not likely improved by the transport/DAC/Tube/Cable combination. Maybe they really were that good!
