at the moment, yeah. But when good HDMI preamps are released, that will be a nonissue

I think some were announced at CEDIA but haven't had a chance to get the scoop.
edit: And this isn't an issue at all outside the very niche market of audiophools like us. Most are perfectly happy with DD audio, which is why it's included on every blu-ray.

I don't know if ANY HDMI Pre/pro I'll be able to afford is going to be able to beat my current analog preamp - oscar 21:08:34 10/07/07 (0)
for multichannel analog audio volume control. I'm hoping instead that a suitable High-end Hi-def player with "audiophile-grade" DACs and SOTA audio processing/decoding will appear instead.

Sony 9000ES that had DVD playback capability and MSRP $1299 or thereabouts, the PS3 is dirt cheap for all it can/will do!!
- Yes, it's a tremendous value and so are Blu-ray discs - Jazz Inmate 10:20:55 10/05/07 (0)
  I remember paying $24.99 for all SACD titles at this stage of the game in SACD rollout. Most Blu-rays are about two solid hours of hi res entertainment, often for $19.99...heck, The Last Waltz BD sounded almost as good as some SACDs, plus you have the film-like video experience through Scorcese's lens.
