Quick Question: I've got a Yamaha DSP-A1 that I don't really want to have to change, but of course it lacks on board decoding for the new HD sound formats. What is the quality of the onboard decoding on (for example) the new panasonic blu-ray player - the review in the magazine doesn't really cover this. What are the disadvantages of using the onboard decoder on the player compared to that on an amplifier - apart from the lack of snazzy dsp modes that I can live without! How is this sound going to compare with (say) a more modern, but way less expensive, surround amplifier such as the 400 pound Onkyo? Thanks in advance!
