Should the BDA require full 2.0 profile and TrueHD/DTS HD MA decoding in all players?

2.0 is the ethernet port that provides web-access for BD-life bonus features.

But regarding your hardware being able to decode advanced audio, that DOES NOT PREVENT YOU from bitstreaming over HDMI 1.3 to an outboard source. I assumed that would be obvious.

Have we met? Don't tell me what I do and don't know.

Having every component I own capable of all encodes is inefficient and costly. Cost that could be better spent on better video decode, power supply, connectors, chassis, noise and vibration supression, etc. The next transport I'm looking at is the Denon, Full Profile (that's 1.1 for the layperson) which'll run me over $1200 - you know. . . the one that doesn't decode DTS HD MA or TrueHD?

I think we are in a different submarket.

PS (edit): Care to change your post so it looks like less of an attack at the poster?
