i have a question and you might have answered it already and I may not have understood. heres what I have experienced. I had a B&K ref 30 preamp with older software and it seemed to have conflicts with all blu ray players when I went through the coax inputs. i bought a ref 50 that had newer software and it seems to work fine. I'm thinking of going to a Krell hts 7.1 as well and am wondering if it will work as well as the ref 50 for blu rays I use a coax from the BD player to the preamp. I know none of these have HDMI and dont care about that at this point. or shoudl I just stick with my ref 50 and be happy.
My dilemma, some advice please.
In the mix of building up my new home theater. I want to use the new codecs from blu ray, of course.
What I am not sure about doing is this.
Buying a new receiver that will decode them for me, and get a denon 2500 (transport only) via hdmi.
Or buying a denon 3800 with analog out's and get a krell showcase 7.1 or HTS 7.1. Let the blu ray do the decoding. I know this will be killer for 2 channel also.
Thanks in advance.
