Thanks for the infos. I had came across this Denon Blu-ray player. looks impressive with a whacking price tag. But its worth the money, as you mentioned, all the holy grail of HD audio decoded under the hood and seems without a need of a receiver at all. we shall see the review to came out to judge.
found an interesting article about all these HD audio:
http://www.highdefdigest.com/feature_intro...olbytruehd.htmlhttp://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/1064How do the sound difference between DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD. Both are lossless audio. Seems that few reviews mentioned the quality is somewhat similar. Care to advise?
If the quality is somewhat similar, i may be settle on Tosh HD-A35 (as the player able to decode Dolby TrueHD and send them out along the 5.1 multichannel analog output) with my existing amp,
or else, just close my eyes and purchase the Onkyo 605 and be future proof as it could be
decision... decision... decision...
Ahahah, that link you posted is the same link i refer to for my reference.
Simply put, the difference between DTS HD MA and Dolby TrueHd is like the difference between DD5.1 and DTS: Nothing at all! Also as per the article on that link, you cannot compare bitrates of the two formats and claim on is better than the other based on bitrates, Dolby TrueHD can achieve parity with DTS HD MA even at lower bitrates.
The reason why i was picky on my receiver was the fact that studios were including either Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD MA, and needed a receiver that does both. Either lossless format would have been fine by me.
You're in the same boat as a lot of others, since they had made their receiver purchase before the introduction of receivers that decodes DTH/DTSHDMA, and wanted a player that does decoding internally and either send the decoded result as either MPCM or straight to the analogue connections. Unfortunately, that pricey Denon is the only announced player that does that, and only for the BD camp.
Why not consider other receivers as well? The TX-SR605 is a bargain for what it does, but you also have the Yammys that does that as well. I picked the SR605 simply because i dont have lots to connect to the receiver, and with the Yammy, it would be a waste. Plus , the Yammys sounded harsher to my ears, overly aggressive even on quieter notes/scenes.
