DTS-MA via 5.1 or 7.1 analog

[JeffKnob]

Are there any players out there that are released or will be released that will output DTS-MA via multichannel analog? I noticed that the Panasonic BD50 will decode DTS-MA but will it only pass the sound via HDMI or multichannel as well?

Thanks.

The BD50 will actually be the 2nd such player. The already available Denon DVD-3800BDCI can decode DTS HD-MA and output via analog.

All Blu-ray players that have internal decoding capabilities will be able to pass (of coarse only the audio formats the player supports) the decoded audio in LPCM via HDMI. Furthermore, if the player has multichannel analog (which most do except PS3) ...well then the player should (that same LPCM as mentioned earlier goes through DAC) be able to pass the decoded audio via multichannel analog.

So, to answer your question: YES, the Panasonic DMP-BD50 should be able to pass decoded DTS-HD Master through both HDMI and multichannel.

I have a Denon DVD3800BDCI and will state that it plays all the advanced codecs via analog out 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1. The sound is extremely good.
