Hi Alan-
Thanks for a great response. That really helps to clear things up for me. I'll save my money on a player as it seems like I won't be missing much if I go without it.
Curtis- what receiver are you running? Was it an HK? Very interesting that it locks it in like you were saying.
MWC- I don't know about pre-Microsoft days, however on the HDCD webpage, they are calling it High Definition Compatable Digital (opposed to compact disc). Do you think that there may be a difference between this and the earlier form you mentioned?
-Kevin
