QUOTE(rx330 @ Sep 23 2008, 04:03 PM) no money buy redcliff  i heard the audio dem powderful, can try all 3 types wtf is this redcliff u all talk about? can link plz??? now pewpew time... i disagree greatly with u dirtrun.. i can honestly tell the difference between 7.1 and 5.1. in fact any Man / woman can.. as long as u have the 7 channels.. as for highdef for pics.. well.. that was my initial goal.. all for the pics.. but now with my speakers / woofer and some room treatment.. its more 60/40 with 60 being for sound.. speakers satisfy 2 of my senses, while tv only deals with 1.. and i can easily adapt to wat i see on screen as the 'detail' can easily be exhaustive.. unlike sound.. now back to real life joe.. if u mean average joe.. then the only reason why they couldnt tell the diff between 7.1 and 5.1 is simply because the average joe does not have a 7.1 / 5.1 setup.. as the average joe just stick to the 2.0 speakers from the tv.. now this said.. its not that the average joe couldnt tell the diff so much more so than it is impossible for the average joe to do so as they dont have access to it.. k back to topic.. for me it goes dts hd > pcm > ddthd |

QUOTE(myqd @ Sep 23 2008, 04:41 PM) In theory,if audio signal is decode in AVR should be better then in PS3,rite? Anyone here with PS3 and a decent BD payer can hear the diff,with/without AVR decoding....i hope not much diff cos no more $$$ to buy myself a BD player,B'day oledi lalu  those who cant hear the different is good thing actually becos u oledi save urself a AVR with all those loseless audio  1. got mixed theories on this myqd from pros on this myqd.. some say theres no audible difference btwn ps3 pcm to avr vs bitstream to avr.. 2. how can u not hear the difference.. ur sitting there with 7 channels around u.. when the movie is 5 channels u will of curz hear sound coming from where.. then when 7.1 comes up, automatically the sound become more and the sound from behind oso can hear.. |

QUOTE(mikapoh @ Sep 25 2008, 02:57 PM) I cant afford to transform my HD ready tv to full HD since I just bought it  But then if I taking the first step into buying BD player, my HD ready 42' panny plasma can still look much closer to full HD tv if not 100% rite?? What about the audio, can my LG box in one sounds better if connect BD player to it via optical cable. Like u ppl suggest, amp will come in later. sighh ok common miss conception here thats been going on tooooo long.. fullhd has nothing to do with hd ready.. full hd is strictly talking about resolution where else hd ready is talking about handling/accepting hd signals... ok for u. 720 / 1080p if ure not too sensitive wont make much diff. and since ur not exposed to 1080s, ur 720 will be heaven edi.. its when uve been expose to 1080 that the 720 becomes bleahhh.. but for ur case.. no prob. if budget is ur constraint, then just buy a ps3 as ur bdp.. connect to tv hdmi, then connect to ur LG box in one with optical. |

i am still baffled over this.. i know optical cable = fibre optics.. and i know fibre optics = easily do 400mbps.. and then i know those HD sound dont even go 10mbps.. so... whats the problem here? engineers stand up please?
