You may be totally right. I relied on the salesman at the store and as I heard the system on that DVD player so I went with it.

The problem I'm beginning to perceive, is that maybe there is no universal right and wrong answers in regards to (some) audio matters & people hear things differently. For instance, Lensman & some other people seem to feel that for digital connections, its not really the DVD player that's affecting the sound but the receiver, a salesman at Shelly's a very high end store in LA says the opposite, you don't like Denon DVD players, etc., God I'm going mad!
