Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - HD-A2 HD-A3 which gives best picture?

A little clarification:

The A-2 can output the HD audio over optical at 1.5 Mb/sec DTS.
The A-3 will use DD 640Mb/sec for optical HD audio.

Both players will output lossless MPCM over HDMI.

There's no question that the A-2 is preferable for optical audio, the difference between DTS at 1.5 and DD at 640 is very noticeable on a decent system.
