There is another consideration to think about, sorry. If you use the player to decode and send it in the analog inputs there are many receivers that it will bypass the bass management. And also if you like to use the differnet surround modes in your receiver that will get bypassed as well.

Personally I like to let the receiver do the decoding but I do not blame you for wanting the BD50.

Is the BD50 a profile 2.0 player? Just curious. I am planning on upgrading my Yamaha RX-V995 and then my Blu-ray player so I can bitstream the Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio to my receiver. Now if I still had my McItosh MX-130 I would most likely get a BD50 and use the analog inputs for the DTHD and DTS-MA.
