With the Advent of DVD-A,SACD And Soon Blu-Ray this seems pointless.

except DVD-A and SACD require me to hook up 5 analog cables from the player to my receiver, I will stick with CD until optical or digital coax works.

Isn’t this just like Dolby Pro Logic IIx? Besides, on the basis of their awful fake 3D system SRS WOW, I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

That’s only because your amplifier can’t decode DVD-A. If it could do that you could use the digital (optical og coax) cable.
