Has anyone checked out the new Samsung BD-P2550 for $399 at Best Buy. It has 7.1 outputs but not sure if it will pass HD audio via these outputs. I would also like to use my 970 processor until I am able to upgrade to a new HD audio processor.

I've read a little about it, but details were slightly beyond scarce at the time - don't know what processing it supports.

i just made the split for my surrounds and i was just wondering how you came up with 3db+ increase?

i set it for +3 but have not had a chance to test it but it sounds right.
just curious on how you arrived at +3 after splitting? thanks.
