I don't think the new Samsung is the player for you...

>>I'll seriously consider replacing/supplanting it with a player which can internally decode DTS HD MA for the 5.1 analog outputs<<

Although Samsung says that DTS-HD is one of the decoded formats, it sure doesn't say anything about DTS-HD Master Audio.

Pure speculation on my part, but I'd be willing to bet that its DTS-HD decode capability is confined to "core" (IOW, it's really just doing garden-variety DTS decoding).

I think it's going to be quite a while before we see any players that can do internal decoding of anything other than DTS core. It's too bad, because I've got a brand-new concert HD DVD with a DTS-HD soundtrack sitting next to me. Oh well.
