if so and you do not have a HDMI equiped receiver but do have 7.1 inputs, this would be your logical choice.
If you have a newer receiver, then the analog outs won't apply, and its a toss up between the two.
The consensus seems to be that PCM from the player works best for the new audio formats. Regardless, I believe in "future proofing" each component as much as possible.
My current receiver will not decode DTS-MA or True-HD, so I need a player that does. My next receiver will decode them, and I can thengo either way.
