Boy...I hope someone still checks this forum.

I plan on upgrading at some point, but I've been working on improving the rest of my home theater first. I've recently upgraded to an HD TV, so I want to upgrade my DVD to Blu Ray.

I'm a little confused with the sound configuration. I know the 1050 won't support the latest and greatest formats (Dolby Master, etc.). Should I make sure to buy a Blu-Ray player that can decode them, has the 7.1 analog outs, and hook them up through the 5.1 analog inputs on the 1050? Is that worth the trouble, or should I just continue to use the optical cable I'm currently using with my DVD player and settle for DTS?

Any help (along with BR players to checkout) would be greatly appreciated!
