Been buying up a bunch of the best DVD-A's and SACD since I've got my new Marantz receiver (SR6005), but I am so freakin confused about all the audio formats!!! My seven year old receiver was a little Denon 2105, worked fine but I wanted HDMI and a better receiver. I took out my Denon 2900 SACD/DVD-A player to try and go all HDMI...been using the PS3 until I get the Marantz UD-5005 Universal Player. So the PS3 via HDMI plays the DVD-A's and the receiver will say Multi Channel In PCM/DIG (seems to be 5.1), or Multi +Dolby EX PCM/DIG (seems to be 7.1). I can also have it go pure direct but it does not sound good at all. What I am asking is what is the difference in sound between this and if I actually have these playing on the DVD-A/SACD player. Im not going to lie, the Multi +Dolby EX sound so good.....I don't ever remember my Denon 2900 DVD-A/SACD player with a million interconnects sounding this good! Is my ear failing me or has my receiver upgrade just added some cool formats. When I get the universal player I will be able to see if I hear the difference. But for now Diana Krell and Queen's "A Night at the Opera" DVD-A sound amazing in the multi format!!!!!! BTW I have all B&W speakers with 7.1 setup.
Thanks for any input, been out of it to long!!!!
