That wasn't my point in the least.

He said he'd lose surround sound via optical and I corrected that misunderstanding: he'd only lose the capability of lossless surround playback (provided his player even supported lossless codec capability), not lossy surround playback.

Never bust anyones' balls for giving you better quality, especially when it comes to the movie studios. Remember that format called DVD? They dicked us with lossy audio crap -- Dolby Digital. Now we're getting lossless 24/48 DTS-HD Master Audio as the de facto audio codec for Blu-ray. Don't bitch about whether or not people can tell the difference.

Let me ask you this question. If you have lossless codec capability in your system, do you switch to the lossy audio track when you watch a Blu-ray movie? After all, "it hardly makes a difference", right?
