That email also suggests that TrueHD requires HDMI and won't be available over analog. If true, that would be a big deal and a huge disappointment for everyone planning to use the player's analog outputs. I'm not sure why the player would even have analog outputs if they can't be used for lossless audio.

Now, it may turn out that the S550 will decode dts-MA when it's released next month. But, that email is hardly comforting.

I agree. Something about that "e-mail" sounds phony.
