 Can any decent HDDVD or BluRay players send the super trick, lossless sound formats over a set of RCAs to my 7.1 input? IOW, do they have onboard processing? |
Yes, some do. What would fit your needs would be the Panasonic Blu-ray player, model DMP-BD10AK. This is the previous model for Panasonic, the current being the DMP-BD30K. The BD10 has onboard audio decoders for Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby True HD and DTS HD(but not DTS Master, which it converts to the still very good DTS core). This model has 7.1 analog outputs, so it would be backward compatible with older receivers that don't have HDMI.
