Hello all, am new to the forum so do excuse my impending dense questions!
About to buy a whole load of kit, and have been trolling these boards for a while for some advice. Whilst most of the questions I had in mind have been aptly answered by past threads (the best source for AV advice hands down), this whole HD audio lark is proving to be a sticking point in my decision of which AV receiver to eventually buy.
My conundrum is this; Do I buy an Onkyo605 now so that I will have Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD ready for when I'll eventually need it; or buy an Onkyo505 and bypass the whole HD audio affair for the moment (thus being able to afford better speakers). Now am I right in thinking that if I do end up getting a 505, that I can simply get a BD/HDDVD player in the future that can decode these formats internally? Or is this crazy talk.
The thing is, I'm getting this set up for games primarily so HD audio is not too high a priority. If I can just get a BD player that can take care of that down the line, the 505 will do me just fine for now. Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
