So through basic research, it seems like stereo receivers that can decode DTS-Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD are still kinda new and expensive.
On the Dolby page here: http://www.dolby.com/consumer/techno...HD_avrs_2.html
It says : If your A/V receiver is equipped with 5.1 or 7.1 external audio inputs, the selection of an optical player equipped with 5.1- or 7.1-channel line-level outputs will provide full-bandwidth reproduction of the audio signal originating from your HD player.
This is what I'd probably have to do. However, my receiver only has 5.1 inputs. And most receivers I've seen only have 5.1 inputs. And the Blu Ray player a friend has only has 5.1 outputs.
So what happens if I want to hear 7.1 in a high res format? How would the signal be processed? Does it even matter? (In other words, are there even 7.1 discs out there?)
Thanks for looking.
