Let him borrow your 1400 to see and hear what HD in HDNA is supposed to be like. 
) and I was appalled at the lack of audio & ease of use vs. my Toshiba 35. Going from my memory, the 300 only decodes DD+ and outputs LPCM over HDMI or analog. TruHD uses the standard DD and DTS-HD HR & DTS-HD MA use the DTS “core”. This is what makes this the King of the POS profile 1 players. I purchased this blind w/o research and I was lucky that the retailer took it back with a full refund almost 60 days later. This is the main reason I’m here at the AVS for life!
"Expected wait, 47 minutes!' I will try again!
How come my brother-in-law experiences such a huge difference (in his opinion as I have not heard it yet) in sound quality when he switches his Sony 300 to LPCM instead of Bitstream ??? What gives, him and I , we both agree that when he uses Bitstream he only gets the DTS core a lossy stream from the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 disc. He claims though that when he switches to LPCM the difference is incredible and he wonders if in fact he gets lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 after all, that is just converted to MPCM. He even thinks that perhaps there is undocumented feature on teh Sony 300 that they never really advertised. Is there any one out there that can technically explain why he is experiencing such a big difference (once again in his opinion) with LPCM turned on ? I though that the sound quality should be exactly the same from Sony 300 via Bitsream or LPCM. I was under impression that still the only stream that is being decoded is the lossy DTS core - am I correct or am I out to lunch on this.

that the only readout he's going to get on his Yammy 1800 is either 5.1 DTS (Bitstream) or 5.1 LPCM (decoded 5.1 DTS core, not full 7.1 DTS Master Audio). Get it?
