OK, maybe the $1000 budget is a little optimistic. I keep seeing models that have the features I want but convert the signal to digital to acheive it. I don't mind that it does this for HT (DD, DTS, etc) but I don't want my 2-channel "compromised" in this fashion. I would also like a 5.1 passive input for DVD-A or SACD if I ever want to consider that in the future - better yet, 2 of them! The only thing I have seen come close is a model by Sony TAN-p9000s but it does not decode the movie soundtracks. There has to be SOMETHING out there. Feedback is most appreciated!
