Do you mean that you read somewhere that some players or receivers, when decoding the new audio formats, have trouble re-distributing the center channel?

If so then I would say avoid these players; otherwise, I would be hard-pressed to find a difference between lossless formats and DD/DTS with regards to phantom centers. Either both would lose something or neither would.

Do you have a link to those reports (if they are online)?
I would be curious.
Thanks in advance,
E.F.
