Question Digital Surround to Analog 5.1 Converter?

Hello everyone,

So I just picked up an older Denon AVR-3200 surround sound receiver, mainly because it has a built-in AC-3 RF decoder for my LaserDisc player. Things sound pretty great when playing back an AC-3 disc! However, since this is an older unit, it can not decode DTS or other newer audio signals from a DVD or Blu-ray. Playing some newer films in surround sound with this unit would be nice to have if possible.

So I ended up looking online and came across this product, it looks to be a digital to analog 5.1 converter. You plug in a single coax. or optical cable and out comes six analog RCA plugs, which would fit into the 6 ext. inputs on my Denon system. Some of the reviews online seem favorable, but I'm not too sure what to think.

It's also hard to tell if it supports just DTS and AC3 signals (as some reviews state) or if it has any support for some of the newer audio signals form a Blu-ray discs, like TrueHD, DTS-HD, etc. Now I'm not familiar with DVD/Blu-ray audio signals, so maybe it won't be an issue, but maybe it will be. So I'm curious if any of you folks have had experience with such adapters, or know more than I do about the subject.

Any advice would be great before spending $50-60 on an adapter that may not do what I want.

Thanks!
-Steve
