Somewhat confused by specs here, hoping for some advice.
I currently have the AX2AS and looking to buy a blu-ray player. I really want DTS-MA sound to be available, hence I was looking at the BDP-S550 as it does it onboard.
I know my amp is HDMI 1.2 and doesn't natively support DTS-MA or TrueHD. My question is, will it support the audio using PCM over an HDMI connection? And is there any downside to doing it like this?
If it is possible, the 550 seems very difficult to get hold of right now and the Pioneer BDP-51FD seems a good, if slightly more expensive, alternative. Would there be any problems with this model?
Thanks in advance
