Hi folks. A guy named Shawn Fogg advertises an inexpensive analog pasthrough upgrade for an old Lex DC-1 SS controller that will pass full resolution 7.1 hidef via analog inputs from your bluray player. It looks like he knows what he is doing and has sold many of them, and if I can use my beloved old DC-1 to get the latest surround sound codecs I'll be very happy. Anybody have any experience with this upgrade? Thanks.

Shawn is a good guy and I would trust him. Note, however, that using the analog inputs on the DC-1 means that all the decoding for the HD-CODECS, as well as DVD-A and SACD, must be accomplished in the player/source.

Shawn knows what he's doing. And take note of what Kal said: all decoding and multichannel analog output must come from the Blu-ray player. Your Lexicon will just provide gain for the signal.
Thanks for responding gents. I know the Lex DC-1 does not decode SACD, DVD-A, or HD-CODECS, as it's a 1990's vintage pre-pro, albeit an excellent one in my opinion, as I have been using it without a glich since it was introduced, and it still sounds fantastic for DD and DTS. At a couple of hundred bucks used, it's an awfully good bargain. I do not want to part with it in order to gain access to HD, so Shawn's upgrade sounds like a great solution. My players will do the conversions, so we'll see how they sound! I run two channel music through a CJ 17LSII and use the 2 channel bypass for movies from the Lex. Thanks again for the support.
