I do have an HDMI receiver (1.1), but it does not decode HD audio. I need the player to do that, as my HD DVD players do.

Will a future firmware allow this player to decode DTS HD internally??

If so, I might take a shot at this one sooner rather than later. Isn't DTS HD the big audio thing on most BD titles rather than Dolby TrueHD?
