If I was concerned about achieving the best possible sound and video quality from Bluray using my 568.2MM, I'd purchase the latest, greatest Bluray that will decode the hi-rez audio codecs internally and output as PCM. Next, I'd shoot said player off to Shawn Fogg at www.switch-box.com for install of a 3x SPDIF board. Finally you plug the Bluray player into the 568.2MM using a quality component video-to-vga adapter cable from the Bluray's modded output board into the 568's SmartLink digital multi-channel audio input. This would enable 6 channel (5.1) high res PCM audio between player and pre/pro. You can enjoy the full benefit of the latest audio codecs and do it using your current M pre/pro! Video from the player is via HDMI of course. All the above is predicated on your 568.2 being equipped with the MM SmartLink option. The only downside I see is that you'd void the Bluray player's warranty.

Happy Trails!
