Yes, I believe all HD DVD players will output redbook CD's in 2 channel via their digital outs, but you should be aware, access times and scans are not yet up to par with a conventional CD or DVD player. While each generation improves on this, they are still behind.
HD-DVD and 2 channel audio
I want to upgrade to a HD-DVD player for it's video quality on my TV, but was wondering if is it possible to use a HD-DVD player and integrate it into a 2-channel system with an external dac? Do current players support 2-channel via optical or coaxial? I assume the standard 2-channel rca analog outs are pretty poor?
