If you are going thru HDMI(1.1) this is how you get Dolby TrueHD - The XA1 or A1 will decode the TrueHD for you to PCM then sent to Denon 4306. You do not need HDMI 1.2a,1.3 on your AVR to get DD THD the player is the decoder.I think I said that right.



Will you do me a favor and pull up the X1's audio options and let me know how you have it set up? IE: bit stream / PCM / auto and all that. I don't remember all the options, but you'll see them when you pull up the menu.

I have both Coax and hdmi into my AVR and when I swap between the two, Coax sounds much, much better than hdmi. I have the avr's surround set up set to Global, so whatever the difference in sound I'm experiencing is from the X1's set up and not my avr settings.

Also, did you run the latest firmware upgrade for the X1? I'm still waiting for the disk to show up. I heard that this upgrade does something with audio.
