    In between Rotel and Lexicon is Anthem. They have pre/pro's that accept PCM 5.1. Cambridge Audio has receivers that accept analog 7.1.

    Arcam? Niiiice, but too rich for my blood.

    Here's the master list of Blu-Ray players.

    Most of the current standalones (except Sony, Panasonic and Philips ) will decode TrueHD and send it out of multichannel analog ports.

    IMHO, if you really need this wait for the Panasonic BD-50, so you can send DTS-HD MA out of your analog ports as well (in addition to Dolby TrueHD).

    It's heavy!

    The set-up was fairly easy and while I'm still fine tuning, it sounds amazing. We watched Across The Universe again last night, and there was a noticeable difference from the first time we watched last weekend.

    The big thing was a more detailed seperation in the channels. Much more definition than my previous amp. Springsteen's new CD was awesome in two channel playback. I spent some time this afternoon listening to the radio station I work for. It sounds better here, than with all our stuff in our studios!

    We're going to watch something noisey tomorrow and give it a good workout.
