Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems Why decode in the player?

Specific question relating to DD 5.1 and DTS 5.1 tracks with a 598/G9x/800 player into a Meridian G68 or 861 processor.

Any differences in sound quality:

1) Decoding in the player, transferring multichannel digital, upsampling in processor.

2) Transferring bitstream, decoding and upsampling in the processor.

I suspect not much difference at all - in fact, DD and DTS bitstreams from any of my DVDs players (598, Sony DVP-S7700, Philips 963SA) have sounded great decoded in my G68....
