Thanks guys!

I just wanted to make sure, I heard a rumor BD players only allowed TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, and PCM via HDMI.

Just in case I decide to buy a 1.1 Profile player in the future...

My plan is to wait until 1.1 BD players arrive, hopefully by the holidays, and see if BD offers any seasonal deals on them. Actually hoping the Samsung BDP-2400 meets the spec. Then I'll probably switch to A1 to coaxial and hook up the analogs to the BD player since it seems BD is more in tune with lossless or uncompressed audio options. Then next year sometime, hopefully Outlaw will announce plans for a new HDMI 1.3 equipped processor and I can finally move into using HDMI for audio. Of course, I'll still be a strong supporter of HD DVD.

I'm pretty much going to forget player on-board decoding for DTS-HD Master Audio, seems like Dolby TrueHD and PCM are at the forefront by a considerable margin. DTS really seems to have dropped the ball again in terms of real, widespread adoption of their new codecs, first with DVD and now with the next generation. I think if Fox came back and dropped MA on their BDs for TrueHD or PCM, next gen DTS on either format might be effectively killed or at least mortally wounded for years.
