How come some of you comparing HD sound with 5.1 sound from different sources

Isn't the review about comparing from the same source?

The 720P and 1080P debate is different because it was comparing whether one could see the diff on a 37" or 42" TV. As TVs get bigger the eyes can see the diff.

For audio, it is not as straight forward as the current quality has almost reached the limit of what our ears are capable of differentiating. So it is often the mixing that might now make a bigger difference than the bitrate.

Like some people say a very good mixing of DD or DTS 5.1 might sometimes sound better than a HD Audio if it's not properly mixed.

Like that must reconsider my decision to buy HD media player. Or else wait for more m2ts to be available.
