Wow! These are some very passionate answers to my question. I am very much interested in VinceHoffman's solution. Because as far as music and HT I have personally never heard anything better than my 568.2MM. I have done Yamaha Rxv1 and others along that line, I cannot go back there.

I have already heard how the PS3 sounds on my 568.2MM and the upconverted pcm rocks. but I was looking for a long term solution (2-3 years) that I can live with.

I am going to look into Hoffman's solution because it makes sense to me. But other alternatives are welcomed. It looks like the Panasonic BDP50 has all the advanced audio codecs and I wouldn't mind modding the BDP out.

Thankyou all.
