I don't doubt anyone; but all the HT receivers I have been in contact with don't have a "2 channel mode" for the digital chip in the receiver. If yours does, I am kind of skeptical that a chip designed for dolby digital is going to be better for 2 channel than the DAC chip built into the DVD player.
The questioner wants the best performance. While you state your receiver's chip does 2 channel, is it better than the DAC in your DVD player?
