Bitstream or multichannel

[ludwignew]

Hello, I´m about to buy a BD and I don´t know what would be better.

There are several options in the market. I have an Onkyo's TXSR605 and i want to now if it is better for me to buy a BD with multichannel output or use my A/V's codecs with beatstream.

Thanks!!

Either will work fine ...but if you want to less ... use HDMI cable and bitstream the audio to the 605

I have a SR605 also, and bitstream would be my bet ,but I use PCM at this present time an it's still lossless.

Definitely, HDMI with bitstream or MPCM. With analog, you would be unable to use the Audyssey. Yes, I know it is a hobbled Audyssey that lacks sub corrections but it is better than none.
