I would like this to :) 6 ch sound is by far the most underestimed feature of DVDA everybody raves about 24/192 stereo ? A properly done 5.1 24/96 from for example AIX would blow this away or heck a 5 ch 16/44.1 too you can do so much moore with soundstage and spatial cues with more channels, and hey it's not a gimmick when done well it's very imersive. The luddites prefered mono over stereo in the beginging too. Keen at shooting the messenger, stereo where gimmicky in the early days so they had a piont just like multi channel gimmics can be overused today. But there is nothing wrong with the aproach one could argue that acoustically 2 sound sources is the worst in creating acoustical interference etc use 1 or many instead. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
