#7: Without a DTS decoder, HDMI, or a 6/8-channel analog output, there's no way the box will put out more than regular, compressed Dolby Digital. In other words, barring HDMI 1.3 being included, only video will be high-def. Having heard the full 6-channel soundtracks on both HD DVD and Blu-ray, I can say there's definitely a difference if you've got a halfway decent sound system.
