Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?

"Flrnlamb, there's better resolution than double bit rate DTS as well as the higher bit rate DD available on some D-vhs tapes" (ears)

Not interested even remotely in Digital tape. This will be gone in no time...of this I'm most certain.

"The reason you have to use analog or hdmi is because DD+ will not pass via analog or optical" (ears)

This doesn't make sense. Do you mean "won't pass via digital/optical???"

I seriously have my doubts that connecting via multi-ch analog for DD/DTS+, or whatever, is going to be "ideal!".
Time will tell.

Yeah...no. Problem there is that processing the DD/DTS "internally" in a DVD player NEVER sounds as good! Always has sounded flater, more 2 dimmensional, and less refined. Probably has to do with the quality of processors, the analog output stage/buffering, etc on the players analog out's. The WAY BETTER SOUNDING route has alway been digital connection from the DVD player to an outboard "pre/pro"! yeah, I'll not be doing the other way any time soon.

WHAT A BUNCH OF BONE HEADS!!!!!!!....lol. Amazing. Gread and more gread seems to be one of the root cause to a lot of this. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaatever. Yeah, I don't doubt you'll see the new players lag in sales greatly for the next couple of years.

"Any way, I don't have an hdmi audio option , but managed to get DD+ via analog 5.1, and it does sound much better than regular DD/DTS,although its also a bit down on db" (Ears)

Ears, describe "much better" please! How so? Sounds to me like it's the same limitations connecting this way as before, only with perhaps more potential resolution. I've never gotten good results connecting to the analog out's of a dvd player, and playing DD/DTS! PCM 2 channel? Now that's another story entirely!
