    Audio 7.1 question

    I have a parasound preamp with one set of 7.1 analog inputs (no HDMI). It is currently used with my DVD-A player. Now I am going to buy a blu-ray player and need to use the 7.1 analog connection for that too. Would the sound be degraded significantly by just using Y adapters so each input can be connected to both the DVD-A and the blu-ray? Or would it be "much" better to buy an audio switcher like the Zektor mas7.1?
    Thanks!
    Ted

      YES, to my knowledge, you can't use y-plugs to hook two sources to one input. You can only split an output.

      Sorry, unless I'm dramatically wrong, (which is always possible) you'll need a nice switch--the Zektor works great, everyone says.

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

          DVDA/SACD Connections to 1066
          by Mike Hayes
          I am considering purchasing a Pioneer 563A ($180) universal player to replace my Toshiba SD5700. I am currently using just the digital connection (not using the 5 analog cables for DVDA). This will be my first experience with DVDA/SACD in conjunction with my 1066 so please bear with me.

          Bluray Audio Format Confusion
          by Johnloudb
          Okay, all these different audio formats have always confused me. On the back of this Jeff Beck Bluray disc "Live at Ronnie Scotts" it lists the audio format as LPCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS HD Master Audio.

          LPCM (Lossless Pulse Code Modulation) Stereo, is...

The 1570 displays Dolby HD Dmix 48k with subscript showing only the FL FR and SW playing. When I turn 1570 off and then on again that first display...
