Wondering if anyone's heard anything regarding potential release of new pre's or even receivers that will be able to handle/decode the new "propossed" higher rez DD/DTS material to be supposedly released on the new HD DVD/Blue-ray discs?
Ears- I dont disagree with anything you are saying. But the Blue Ray players are going to have their own set of issues the first time out as well. They will be different. But there will be issues....
Rysa, thats a very good point that there will indeed be some sort of problems with the first BD players also. Theres an insider opinion from a guy from Warner and his group...that the Samsung BD player is basically far better than the Toshiba hd dvd player....and they have both as well as test dics to trip up both formats. They say the Samsung hs no hdmi issues, loads quicker, and is silent with no fan noise...as well as there pick of the two players. This is good news because maybe there seeing the many reports on the Toshiba...and avoiding the same pitfalls for initial BD players with there extra time before launch.
Even if the BD players end up being much better from a user standpoint...both formats are not using there full specs with regard to audio...on the first players....which is very dissapointing.
