Bitstream vs internal decoding

[elwaylite]

So, as with buying a standalone which is specifically designed for video, its best(when you get into the HD audio dept) to buy a player that bitstreams and let the high end audio rcvr do the work?

I dont really see why not decoding DTSMA and DTHD is a big negative. Guess its just like the profile arguments, whatever a HDDVD fanboy feels they can use they will.

Do any of the HDDVD players decode?
