Very tempting for the A35, but I want to wait for the XA3 to get DTS-MA. Damn tempting...

Sure they do, just the up to 1.5mbps core component of it. If it didn't decode DTS-HD at all it would output nothing, which it does not. This is why I listed DTS-HD decoding and not DTS-HDMA decoding.

Not my fault DTS renamed their codec
![]() It is confusing but the bottom line is that the above Toshiba players will read and decode any DTS-HD track, be it DTS-HD, DTS-HD 24/96, or DTS-HDMA; it only decodes the "core" track from them, though, which is basically 768kbps - 1536kbps DTS. So you will get 5.1-6.1 DTS sound no matter what you play, it just won't be lossless DTS if it is a DTS-HDMA track.

Hey Ruined, just wondering, do you know where I can find a cheap XA2? I have an A1 right now and haven't upgraded to the A3 or so because I want my lossless sound (analog outputs, my receiver does not have HDMI). I'm hoping to find something around $200 or so.
I mean, it would cost too much to upgrade my player and upgrade my receiver rather than just get a used XA2 or a new one (hopefully).
