Hi All
Hoping for an opinion, I?m always confident I can find one around here... ;D
I currently have a Samsung BDC-5500 BluRay player. I use an optical link to my Marantz 5400 AV receiver, as this model is a number of years prior to HDMI. I?m very happy with my Marantz and I can see my self rushing to replace it any time soon. Currently most BluRay sound is being processed as 5.1 DTS.
I?ve seen quite a lot of talk extolling the virtues of the new HD sound formats, so I?m considering purchasing a higher level (BDC6900 ? or the new model being released) and using the 5.1 analogue outs, and piping the this to the Pre-Outs on my Marantz. I?m considering this route, as frankly these units are pretty cheap, if I like it I can flog it and purchase something superior in the future.
What I?d like is some input from members discussing whether they feel this is worth the money, effort time etc....
