Harman Kardon DVD31 vs. Marantz DV4500

[cjtalbot]

I use the onboard decoders on my Marantz player simply because it sounds much better. You'd be surprised how many folks actually do this. Another reason I don't use the digital cable is because it's impossible to get SACD or DVD-A from it.

Nice...

That's good to hear, I just picked up a SR8400 and DV6400. I'll be setting them up this weekend and I'm looking forward to comparing the DTS and DD outputs through both the coax digital and the multi-channel hookups. (dvd side decoding vs. receiver side decoding).

Cool, I also have the Marantz 6400. Let us know the results of your tests!
