Canada's take on why PCM is so prevalent on Blu releases

[Canada]

I know Sony could come out with 6 channel analog cabels and I bet I am not the only one who would gladly lay down $ 50 for that. Some of you will say $ 50 for 6 analog cabels what a rip but that's so cheap if you figure a HDMI receiver is a minimum $ 300.

Maybe we should write Sony and suggest they market a $ 50 6 ch analog cable, I can guarantee them it would fly of sheves.

I would be second in line to buy them Canada.....right behind you.

what receiver are you using? and do you use HDMI or just optical for audio?

Optical doent have the ability to support HDCP so it cannot provide use for any of the newer audio codecs...basically you can only get 5.1 (6.1 DD EX) ...

HDMI and multichannel Analog audio connections are the only ways to receive Uncompressed PCM, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HA MA

Um, without 6 DACs that actually have terminals on the back of the PS3, you can't just make a "cable" do that....

Well, remember that Sony is also trying to allow other CE manufacturers to sell their players. Remember how long it took them to enable 24p output? They were making sure other players could do it too, so they won't destroy the player market.

Maybe I'm wrong, there are actually 4 more channels coming out on that "AV-multi" (or whatever it's called) quietly waiting for a firmare update to enable them....

ok, probably not

It could maybe be done via a USB addon?

Now we're talking more like $100 of course.

I kinda like my receiver though and I don't really want to spend $1000-$1300 on a new one just yet.
