[quote user="nisrani"] [quote user="Puncher"] I'd be amazed if the BL2 added anything at all to the (correctly setup) BL5's - in fact I would think it would actually spoil the reproduction.

[quote user="Michael"] Are you guys politely telling me I'm an idiot for thinking that using the analog out instead of the optical would magically bypass the known apple TV 16bit/44.1 downconversion that occurs (with Optical) and magically transfer golden sound waves like musical pixies farting stardust into my BS3?

[quote user="soundproof"] ATV does pass-through of 5.1DD surround, and outputs music and audio at 16/44.1 through the optical output.

[quote user="moxxey"] [quote user="Puncher"] I don't think it's any great secret that it is based on Samsung's recent LED backlit panels, the Samsung TV's using these (or versions of) are currently being advertised on UK TV.
