Speaking of movies to order kenny, my daughters godfather suggested I should check out The Descent, he said it was a shocker. Any info on this?

A very solid rent. The pic and sound were not off the chart but done very well. Some very startling moments to be sure. The main character was in one of my all time fav shows MI:5 (Spooks).

Really, alright, I`m pretty busy with mother`s day and my daughters play for theater this weekend, but maybe next week I`ll rent it. Thanks for the heads up.

I am just happy we have a REAL step up in audio with Blu-ray!!! I have been able to A-B DD/DTS to MC PCM and the difference is HUGE! I can't wait to get to fire up the new Denon pre/pro and run DTS MA HD to it!!!!!!!!!

Kenny,

I am also amazed at the difference between DD/DTS and Lossless MC PCM. I am hearing small details in the soundtracks that I never could hear as clearly before. Not to mention the dynamic gains.

I switched from a B&K Ref 20 to the Denon 3808CI both used as pre/pros. Night and day difference. The new codecs are awesome! The more titles with DTS-HD MA released the better for us early adopters.

YES please make DTS-HD MA the standard I heard a demo at the dealer using an Integra and was blown away!!!! It surpasses every other format I have heard, if they could do music on this that would be fantastic.
