haknys:

Agree with your frustration, however, two points:

1. The sucess of HD-on-disc is hardly assured. M is a small company and cannot afford to develop a solution that is either the wrong format or supports something that is destined for DVD-A/SCAD oblivion. Clearly they cannot be saying ...don't buy our DVD player!
2. Decoding HD audio codecs in the player gets to PCM. PCM then gets sent to the processor for the D/A conversion - much like is currently done by 800 for DVD. So, unless I misunderstand also, you are still passing a digital signal to the processor - not an analog one.
