anyone tested D True hd with analog and hdmi with the same receiver?

Just wondering if even or how big the difference is using the analog outs on your bdp is when listening to a true hd source

If its just the same then I dont see a reason to buy myself an avr that I wont be using for amplification. I use a projector and have no desire to upscale sources

Using the analog outs on your BDP - your BDP is doing the decoding and D/A conversion. Most inexpensive BDP's (*caveat* not all) have less than desirable DACs.
A pre/pro or AVR usually does a better job of those tasks.

Also, I know of no one at all using their pre/pro or AVR to upscale. My player does that and many panels even do a better job than the avg. AVR.

Tried it and liked hdmi over analog. My best results are hdmi and having the receiver doing the decoding.

same here.

Yeah, I have an awesome BDP and I still bitstream the codecs to my AVR.

I don't...not that I have much choice.

Hmm, BluRay suggests that you decode from your transport, all I can say is my player the sound is great, of course my pre/pro doesn't process 1.3, but I can't imagine an AVR with all the other things it does, is also going to have better conversion than a dedicated transport. A really good transport is about half or less than most your quality AVR's out there. Now your going to tell me that it has a better and more expensive chip set than a dedicated transport, plus for the same price have an exceptional amp and pre amp section? Not buying it.
