I am kind of torn on this issue.
Now your disc player can be nothing more than a transport as far as audio is concerned. If you go that route, you have to be pretty happy with the DACs in your pre-pro/receiver.
If you want a good universal transport with good video, that is still going to cost you, and at this point. it is probably going to have good audio too......so you still have to pay for it.
Now I am all for convenience...but I don't think I am willing to pay a whole lot more for it. Right now, the sound quality between the two different types of connections is still being debated.
